Meet My Mentor: The COO of the Agency Gary Vaynerchuk Built (Guest: James Orsini)

If I had to describe this influential COO in one word, it would be balanced. No... maybe it would be intelligent Or maybe poised. Open-handed might be a good one. Anyway... you get it!I had the privilege of interviewing one of the businessmen I look up to most, James Orsini; Chief Operating Officer of the explosive, game changing empire that is VaynerMedia. Sure... millions and millions of people know and follow Gary Vaynerchuk. But a visionary like that needs someone to execute. When Gary keeps throwing Hail Marys, someone needs to catch it in the end zone. That someone is James.James has served in some major global roles as the COO of Interbrand, EVP of Finance and Operations for Saatchi & Saatchi, and the President and CEO of SITO Mobil.Since I first met him in February of this year, he has quickly become a true mentor. The more I get to know him, the deeper my admiration grows. Not only does he have a long list of professional successes, but he balances that with great success as a husband, father, and community servant.It is my absolute privilege to introduce him to the Dealers Compressed community. This might be a great week to share with a friend.Here is my current itinerary:January 24-27: NADA Convention, San Francisco: (Speaking: Time and location TBD)Reading List:Connect With James Orsini on LinkedInJimmyThePencil on TwitterMaplecrest FordEmpire State of Mind copyright Jay-Z and Atlantic Records. . .DID YOU KNOW that the Dealers Compressed Podcast started as a creative visual production around the book “Like I See It”.
