Public Leadership & Community Impact

Jamie served on the Chester, South Carolina City Council, where he was a member of the Economic Development Committee and chaired both the Finance Committee and Public Safety Committee. In these roles, he supported pay and benefits restructuring for police officers and city employees, helped identify and secure public safety grants, and supported approval for ShotSpotter and city camera systems to strengthen crime-reduction efforts.

Corporate & Government Leadership Experience

Following his military career, Jamie continued to operate at a senior leadership level across corporate and state government environments, applying his expertise in workforce strategy, operational performance, and organizational design to complex civilian systems.

At Bank of America, Jamie served as an Assistant Vice President, leading initiatives that improved workforce performance, compliance, and customer experience across large-scale operations. He implemented coaching and performance systems that increased compliance from 56% to 96% while improving customer satisfaction and strengthening workforce readiness across multiple sites.

At the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, Jamie served as Chief of Motor Carrier Services, where he led statewide operations responsible for regulatory compliance, customer service delivery, and workforce performance. He redesigned onboarding and training systems, reducing processing times from 7 days to 2 days and cutting customer wait times from 30 minutes to under 2 minutes.

In addition to operational improvements, he restructured organizational workflows, strengthened audit and compliance systems, and contributed to generating over $2.25M above projections, while representing the state as Commissioner for the International Registration Plan (IRP) and International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) at the national level.

Across both roles, Jamie consistently applied the same leadership principles developed in the military, aligning people, processes, and tools to deliver measurable results, improve accountability, and build systems that scale.
