ABOUT
Three decades of running contact center operations gives you a particular view of technology. You learn which tools survive first contact with a production floor and which ones stall in procurement. Jim brings that operational filter to AI products built to work at enterprise scale, not just demo well.
The flagship product Qeval reflects that philosophy. It monitors 100% of customer interactions, not the 5 to 10% sample that traditional QA programs cover, and implements in 30 days rather than the months most enterprise software requires.
Across Etech global services, where Jim runs revenue strategy, the numbers tell the story: over two billion customer interactions processed, Global 2000 Enterprises across multiple verticals, and a company that evolved from traditional BPO into an organization where data science and contact center operations are the same discipline.
He has co-authored books on customer experience and AI and contributed to CMSWire multiple industry platforms. His perspective on what separates AI that works from failed investments comes from implementing both.
