James Champ

I retired after 27 years of service in the Army. I bring a combination of hands-on and strategic leadership experience in Human Resource Management required for leading and developing talent, incorporating policy, assessing organizational needs, leading change management initiatives, and communicating with senior and executive leadership. I managed several unique circumstances such as:  Implementing, monitoring, and reporting to Congress on the training and compliance of the repeal of, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,”  Managing the difficult and sensitive conversations with family members, media, and interested parties regarding the killing or capturing of a military family member,  Protecting classified personnel information for staff assigned to Top Secret missions, and figuring out how to include (but not include) the information in their service records,  Briefing internationally-known officials including U.S. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, three-star and four-star Army Generals, Senior White House Officials, members of Congress, and the President of the United States,  But I welcome new opportunities and challenges. I lived up to the Army's values while managing and directing national and global HR matters, organizational development, change management initiatives and other policy and compliance matters in a multi-service, multi-national environment. I’m ready to expand my scope of knowledge and hope to help your organization be all that it can be.
