At Culture Works, our team is the backbone of our success. This month we decided to give you the opportunity to get to know our CIO, Jim McGowan. Jim is truly one-of-a-kind. His dry humor, leadership capabilities, and adventurous personality bring so much joy and expertise to the Culture Works team. This month, we’re giving you a deeper look into who Jim is beyond the Culture Works team.
Let’s start with the advice he would give himself if he were to look back from the age of 80. If you know Jim, even a little bit, this advice makes total sense. He is always looking to make people smile and enjoy life. His advice would be:
Jim has had countless experiences that have shaped the man he is today. After he graduated from school, Jim and his wonderful wife, Amy, moved to Japan to teach English. During the 2 years they spent in Japan, they met wonderful people, did amazing things, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Jim says he grew more in those 2 years than he had during any other time in his life.
When Jim is not working with our Culture Works team, he is likely exploring a new place. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, camping, snowboarding, and spending time with his family and friends. Jim still has many places he wants to see and visit. At the top of his list are Bora Bora and the Galapagos Islands.
He has helped build the company into what it is today. His life experiences have contributed greatly to where he is today, and have shaped the man he has become.
