Jim is a Prime Factors advisor, who also regularly speaks and writes on global supply chain management, technology and global strategy to a wide range of audiences.
“As Prime Factors continues to grow at a tremendous rate, attracting the right talent remains a top priority for our team,” said Henry Cheli, chief executive officer of Prime Factors. “We are especially excited to have a highly valued advisor of Jim’s caliber agree to join our team full time. His experience with early and mid-stage, high growth, advanced technology businesses as a consultant, advisor and strategist is particularly valuable to Prime Factors”
In roles such as senior vice president of corporate development and vice president of product management at Sterling Commerce, Jim helped develop and launch one of the first B2B Integration Platforms, the first Omni-Channel Commerce platform, and helped re-invent Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) networks from traditional transaction networks to integrated cloud-based B2Bi capabilities.

“Serving as an advisor to the Prime Factors team over the course of the past several years has given me deep appreciation for their vision of how sensitive information should be protected and also for what this company is achieving both in product development as well as market execution,” said Hendrickson. “Today’s most pressing security need in business is in protecting the lifeblood of its commerce – its most sensitive data – and Prime Factors is uniquely positioned to help address this need. I look forward to contributing to the buildout of Prime Factors’ channel programs as we continue to help reduce the complexity of implementing data security in the enterprise wherever data is most at risk.”
