About James Obuchowski

CFO, Pace Mart Pace Mart is a business that was started by myself, along with four others that was a 7/11 type of store in which we sold coffee all the way to school supplies. It was a challenge that I took on throughout my time at Pace starting as the HR manager and ending as the HR manager, I was responsible for scheduling 16 different full time students to work on any given day, 7 days a week. Sales and Service Supervisor, People’s Bank Over the last four years at People's I have experienced the ins-and-outs of the banking world from checking account opening and maintenance to mortgage and home equity loan lending. I have taken on many responsibilities at my branch that many bankers of my level do not which include delegating responsibilities to bankers on the same level and above me, reporting quarterly earnings for our branch to upper management, and taking on sales often myself with our business customers. Banking is an industry that challenges both your ability to sell and your ability to manage both your time and people. I have learned significantly more about people management while being at the bank with the responsibilities I was given. Recruitment Manager, Indeed During my tenure at Indeed I spent hours prepping presentations and delegating responsibilities to my employees, I had 6 in my direct group under me and I would have weekly and bi-monthly review meetings to ensure that we were keeping up with our goals that were set for us. As a first time manager on my own, this group as a collective was always hitting their numbers and was exceeding expectations since the moment I took over at the company. The work flow of management is much different than even that of a supervisor, but I loved the responsibility of everything riding on my shoulders. Account Executive, Fivestars by SumUp Inc. Working at Fivestars by SumUp Inc. I dealt with being both the point of contact for any of the existing or new clientel. I would be using SalesForce and all of it's tools it has to offer daily such as booking events like future meetings or booking calls for the rest of my day or week and updating it frequently and regularly every day. I worked with Sales Management teams everyday to ensure that the client experience was always superb and would be often touching base with my clientel to give them the heads up on new and pre-existing products we have for them to upgrade their partnership with us if need be. The sales process was important at Fivestars and I believe I possess a skillset learned in training that not many others would have.
