James Carithers

I am a business leader and current COO with extensive experience working with Private Equity to deliver growth, integrated platforms, M&A integration, and cultural change. I have a proven track record of leading executive teams that foster a collaborative environment, allowing the CEO to be the visionary and face of the company. I firmly believe in the 2-in-a-box model for a collaborative CEO & COO approach, where every voice is heard and valued. My career has been a journey of triumph, marked by the exhilaration of witnessing a team thrive and conquer strategic goals, even in the midst of rapid growth, integration, and transactional ownership processes. With over 18 years of experience, I have sharpened my ability to navigate complex business situations, juggling customer expectations, managing Private Equity and Limited Partner wishes, and ensuring expected profitability. This is a testament to my adaptability and problem-solving skills. My success comes from building a Culture of Winning using these five traits: Vision, Comprehensive Strategy & Relentless Implementation Everyone is Included (Over Communicate) Clear Performance Goals Cost Control (Efficiencies) Respect, listen, help, & appreciate each other Thank you to Alan Mulally for inspiring me with this culture. When I’m not working, I enjoy time with my family and friends on and off the golf course. Being from land-locked Colorado, I also get to South Florida as much as possible, especially in the winter. I look forward to connecting – JC Contact Me: 📧 EMAIL: jamesjcarithers@yahoo.com
