Consultant of the Month: James Vien

At Kavaliro, we take immense pride in recognizing and celebrating the remarkable achievements of our consultants. This month, we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on James Vien, an exceptional HR Generalist who embodies the true spirit of a problem-solving Generalist.

Hailing from Jacksonville, FL, he has a knack for connecting with people, a skill set he attributes to the different level of positions he works with in his current role. For James, no two days are the same.

A fan of running, triathlons, and video gaming, James is as versatile in his personal life as he is in his professional realm. An interesting tidbit about James is his completion of a Half Iron Man from scratch, a feat he intends to repeat this May. His tenacity and determination are evident in his sportsmanship as much as in his career.

One of the qualities James prizes most about himself is his perseverance. When he sets a goal, there's no stopping him until he's reached his realistic conclusion. This perseverance was displayed prominently when he completed his MBA, becoming the first in his immediate family to attain a graduate level degree. He achieved this feat not only for personal fulfillment but also to set a positive example for his two kids.

James' journey to become a Generalist was a fascinating one. His career in retail operations laid the groundwork for his future role. He realized that communication was often the main disconnect between managers and their teams, and with this insight, he became a conflict resolution expert. His current role allows him to solve problems on multiple levels, protect the company, and find fulfillment all at once—a trifecta of career satisfaction.

Currently, James is diving into Excel, teaching himself new formulas to develop his own Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for HR. He believes in continuous personal and professional growth, and his quest for learning amplifies that.

We are proud to recognize James hard work. His commitment to learning, drive for achievement, and dedication to making a difference embody the core values of our organization. Thanks, James, for your hard work and dedication!
