"CAVU" is an aviation term that means “Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited”. In laymen’s terms, it means there are no restrictions to vision or performance.

CAVUstrategies is a full service management services and advisory firm that uses a proprietary approach to growth strategy developed by its founder who is also a licensed pilot. James has synthesized:

decades of experience as a healthcare and corporate executive,
the grit and grind cultivated from growing up in and from building small businesses and
the prescriptiveness of flight planning learned in becoming a pilot

to develop this methodology.

In his career, James has worked for, led and advised organizations with capital reserves and net revenues in the hundreds of million dollar category with employees in the thousands to those with no budget, no cash flow and no hope. James credits his sustained successes and continued wins to building meaningful relationships, developing infrastructure, systems + processes and creating cultures of accountability all while having fun.

He helps companies establish these components to turn visions and dreams into reality with launch support and to grow existing businesses to scalability.
