About James Schultz

After 38 years in the retail industry, I am currently enjoying semi-retirement while reflecting on a career built on relationships, leadership, and results.Throughout my career, I developed a diverse background that includes facility management, category management for procurement, and retail sales product management. I have a proven track record of building, growing, and strengthening relationships with both internal and external business partners while creating mutually beneficial and profitable outcomes.I continue to be passionate about leadership and enjoy mentoring, coaching, and training others. Strong communication, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to people have always been central to my professional approach.Before beginning my career in retail, I had the opportunity to play college basketball and later compete professionally in Europe—experiences that helped shape my work ethic, teamwork mindset, and leadership style that carried throughout my professional life.
