In Memory of Jim Baker

In 1977, James A. (Jim) Baker founded Baker Communications in Houston, Texas, with the goal of delivering customized and highly effective performance improvement training to Houston's thriving corporate community.

Over the next three decades, Jim mentored several generations of corporate leaders and grew a small corporate training startup into one of the world's leading performance improvement companies. Under Jim's dynamic, larger-than-life leadership style, Baker Communications was honored as an Inc. 500 company in only its second year of existence, and went on to win the honor for an unprecedented three consecutive years.

Baker Communications now serves well over half of the Fortune 500, with global facilitators in 21 countries. In 2012, Jim partnered with Walter Rogers, current CEO of Baker Communications, and world-renowned entrepreneur, author, and peak performance strategist Tony Robbins, to create CloudCoaching International, in order to take advantage of cloud-based technologies that deliver an even more sophisticated level of performance improvement services to our global customers.

Jim passed from this life on September 15, 2014. His commitment to leadership, innovation and excellence provides a rich legacy that continues to drive our entire company.
