GC Project Manager
“I just finished a large, fast paced project with Cognitive and wanted to share my insight from that experience. James was pleasant to work with. He always had a smile on his face and was able to lighten the mood when needed. He was very knowledgeable and willing to roll up his sleeves to help the team solve any problems that came up. He was a great addition to the team.”
