About Jim Bartlett

In early 2021 I was named as the Managing Director for BNI Colorado, part of BNI Global - a business consulting / marketing organization that helps business owners grow their companies through personal networking. Prior to assuming this role, for the past five years I participated as an active member and leader of my “home” BNI chapter, Action Partners. In addition, I have served as a BNI chapter Support Director & Area Director for 16 chapters throughout the Denver metro area. BNI is an international organization with members in over chapters located in 70 countries around the world. These members build relationships within their local chapters as well as across state, regional, and national boundaries, resulting in millions of referrals that are passed between members annually. In 2020, BNI members passed referrals that translated into closed business worth $16.3Billion (USD) – in the middle of a global pandemic. The ~1400 BNI Members in 53 chapters across Colorado passed referrals worth over $50Million (USD) in 2020. As a serial entrepreneur, I also have launched, own and oversee several small entrepreneurial businesses that focus on business consulting, consumer solutions and technology services. Currently, I am a co-founder and owner of A Master's Hands, LLC which provides design, remodeling, repairs, and maintenance for residential and commercial clients in the Denver metro area. In addition, I am also the co-founder and CEO of Automation Brains, LLC which provides clients in Colorado with AI-based home & office automation solutions - from design and integration through system installation and programming. Prior to becoming a serial entrepreneur, I worked in the high-tech field for over 25 years. During that time, I served in executive positions building and leading world-class teams and delivering strong business results at companies such as IBM, StorageTek, Philips N.V, NEC Corp, and Zenith Corp. In addition, I served in senior leadership roles at several smaller companies, including Sopheon Corporation, IC & C and Pinnicle Management.
