James D. Shattuck

Jim Shattuck has over 30 years experience providing career management consulting services for organizations and individuals. He has worked as a Human Resource executive for a Fortune 10 company. He led sales, marketing, and delivery services for the nation’s largest publicly held, human resources consulting organization, and in 1996 started his own business specializing in career transition, executive coaching, and retained search services. For the past several years, Jim has worked with hundreds of individuals transitioning from well-defined roles and responsibilities to seldom imagined opportunities.

Before starting his own firm, Jim worked for Right Management Consultants in New York, where he provided outplacement and organizational consulting services for Fortune 50 companies operating in the U.S. and overseas, as well as start-up businesses and not-for-profit organizations requiring local, on-site assistance.

Jim’s value to every client is grounded in business theory and practice. As far back as the late ’60s and early ’70s with Mobil Corporation, his responsibilities have included providing human resource support services for emerging start-up ventures in the U.S. and overseas (including the different cultures of Indonesia and Saudi Arabia) and designing and implementing competency modeling and executive coaching services for individuals choosing to do things differently. His experience in the chemical, finance, marketing, and manufacturing organizations—including senior leadership and Board responsibilities—provides individual clients and organizations with an often needed “reasoned yet results oriented perspective.”

Jim earned degrees from Middlebury College and the University of Vienna, Austria, and was a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army. Over the years, he has provided consultative services to the Business Council for International Understanding in Washington, D.C., the Human Resource Planning Society in New York, the New Hampton School in New Hampton, New Hampshire, and numerous advisory boards.
