Jim Cahill, BSEE, MBA

I am the Chief Blogger, Surface Dweller, and Head of Social Media for Emerson Process Management. The surface dweller metaphor comes from an Intech article I wrote, Surface key to social network success. It highlights the importance of organizations having people out at the surface of their organizations to better listen and respond to the needs of their customers and prospective customers.

My 20+ year career at Fisher Controls and in turn Emerson (who acquired Fisher in 1992) spans sales support, product application specialist, alliance manager, product manager for the DeltaV development, marketing communications manager, and now social media leader.

I received a BSEE from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from the University of New Orleans. My career began as a Systems Engineer with Conoco North American production in New Orleans in the mid 1980s before coming to Fisher Controls in the late 1980s.
