Before joining Outside GC, Jamie joined QualityMetric (now part of Ingenix Life Sciences) as General Counsel to cure legal problems that stood in the way of selling the venture-backed company and to reduce legal costs. Jamie successfully accomplished these goals while streamlining the licensing process to accelerate the sales process and improve revenue recognition. The Board of Directors then asked Jamie to add the role of CEO, in order to lead the sale process. In this role, Jamie reduced operating costs to prepare the company for sale. He developed the offering materials, presented the opportunity to potential buyers, managed multiple bids, negotiated terms, and led his Board of Directors and stockholder group to closure. The final sale, to a Fortune 100 Company was at a price 30% above Board expectations.

At OMG, he handled all legal matters, as well as HR and insurance activities. He streamlined licensing activities, negotiated acquisitions and developed, negotiated and implemented two certification programs.

Before that, he served as Corporate Counsel at Alpha Industries (now Skyworks Solutions), a publicly-traded semiconductor manufacturer. As the senior in-house attorney, he focused on contracting, HR, SEC compliance and environmental matters.
