Jim Estes speaks to a CGNET luncheon in his honor

Jim Estes, CGNET COO, is retiring after 16 years at the company. His retirement caps a lifelong career in information technology, which also included nearly 19 years as Head of Computer Services at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in India and teaching Computer Science at the University of New Hampshire.

Jim will continue to consult for CGNET in his areas of expertise. When asked what else he plans, he said, “Well, cleaning out the garage should take about a year.” CGNET will miss Jim’s humor, as well as his extensive set of skills.
