We're proud to welcome James “Jim” V. Thompson as SEG International's new President and Chief Growth Officer. Jim brings nearly four decades of executive municipal leadership, having run city governments across Arizona, Washington, and Colorado, most recently leading the City of Scottsdale through one of its most transformative eras. At Scottsdale, Jim led the organization through a $2.4 billion annual budget, secured $319 million in voter-approved bonds with a 100% pass rate, and guided the city to its highest citizen satisfaction scores in history. He negotiated landmark economic development deals, including the Axon International Headquarters, Mayo Clinic expansion, and Nationwide Campus, and steered Scottsdale through the COVID-19 crisis with award-winning response programs. Before Scottsdale, Jim served as City Manager in Casa Grande, Bothell, and Bullhead City, where he delivered hundreds of millions in capital projects, eliminated unfunded pension liabilities, and brought in thousands of new jobs through corporate relocations and expansions. A Credentialed City Manager and longtime adjunct professor at Arizona State University, Jim holds an MBA from Regis University and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Indiana University, as well as other degrees, multiple certifications, awards, and recognitions. Jim, welcome aboard. We're ready to build what's next.
