Jim Grisanzio

Jim Grisanzio

Jim Grisanzio works at Oracle on the Java Developer Relations Team in the Java Platform Group, which is the engineering organization building Java. He hosts the Duke’s Corner Podcast, publishes the Inside Java Newsletter, produces video and photography, facilitates the Java User Group and Java Champions programs, delivers community sessions at events, and contributes to the team’s community development programs.

In recent years while in Oracle developer marketing, Jim managed the Oracle Developers YouTube channel and multiple social media platforms. He also hosted the Oracle Groundbreakers Podcast, produced videos and live streams, delivered presentations, managed events, and published the Database and Java newsletters. From 2017 to present Jim has interviewed more than 450 developers via live streams, podcasts, and videos on a variety of technologies including Java, Linux, Oracle Database, MySQL, AI, Developer Tools, Cloud, and Open Source.

Before Oracle developer marketing, Jim worked in Solaris engineering managing FOSS projects delivering into the operating system. He was also the OpenSolaris Community Manager at Sun Microsystems from the project’s inception until the acquisition by Oracle. He directed Solaris engineering projects with corporate partners, managed Linux and OpenSolaris user groups, presented at universities and conferences, briefed press and analysts, and ran developer events. Earlier at Sun, Jim managed competitive marketing campaigns for all of Sun’s Open Source and Open Standards projects. He also wrote keynote speeches and managed communications for Sun’s CMO and other senior executives.

Jim’s academic background covers science and technical writing, publications production, health care policy, and history. He’s edited software and medical newsletters; written hundreds of magazine articles and press releases; and collaborated with engineers, scientists, physicians, and veterinarians in academia and biotechnology. He’s also worked with the global news media and American government officials at local, state, and federal levels — including The White House — while running hardware, software, and biomedical publicity programs for multiple companies and universities.

Jim’s foundational experience in managing complex projects came from working in the real estate development business in New York. He sold residential homes and raw land; hired and managed construction crews; acquired the legal and financial approvals necessary for building; and worked closely with political, municipal, regulatory, and banking officials to finalize closings. He also ran his own excavating and trucking company — he purchased equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars; worked on hundreds of commercial and residential sites; negotiated contracts with all stakeholders; and managed operations with customers, vendors, governments, and multiple national unions.

Jim knows well what it’s like for everything to crash completely and require rebuilding from scratch. That’s why he has a varied background. He never gives up. He just keeps building.

Alexia Georghiou

Alexia Georghiou

For decades, I worked in clinical and administrative roles in mental health, eating disorders, and substance abuse, serving children, teens, families, and adults through individual sessions, group work, and community initiatives.

2019 was a transformative year for me. I founded the Knoxville Happiness Coalition, hosting meetings until March 2020, when the pandemic halted in-person gatherings. Our events featured speakers from diverse backgrounds who had discovered happiness. This inspired me to study happiness and positive psychology, earning a certification from the Fellowship's premier masterclass on organizational culture and completing a leadership and management certification through Wharton Online.

In 2019, I began teaching at the University of Tennessee’s Center for Professional Education & Lifelong Learning. I lost my role as a program coordinator due to layoffs.

In 2019, I also joined the Knoxville Association of Women Executives (KAWE), quickly accepting a board position. I became president in 2022 and led initiatives such as awarding scholarships to college students, recognizing women leaders with the Notable Woman Award, composing press releases, and managing marketing campaigns on social media. I supported board transitions in 2023 to ensure continued success with community projects and leadership development.

In 2020, I joined the board of the Oak Ridge Human Resources Association (ORHRA), leading programs to advance local HR initiatives. By 2022, I helped form the Oak Ridge Human Resources Alliance as ORHRA merged with the Oak Ridge Chamber. I continued as an advisor since 2023, to shape HR policies benefiting the community.

My vision for community improvement expanded through Life Betterment Through God, an initiative offering culture and leadership training for ministry leaders. Over the past five years, I’ve written extensively, podcasted, and launched a newsletter, Happiness Driven Leadership, featuring three columns and a library of 900+ resources for organizations and ministries. My mission is to transform communities one person, church, and organization at a time.

My book, The Future of Work is Human and The Future of Success is Happiness, helps professionals develop positive psychological capital in the work setting.

My signature V.A.L.U.E.S. Model—Vision, Action, Leadership, Unity, Engagement, Synthesis—based on empirically proven Positive Psychology practices expands organizational capacity. At the heart of my approach is storytelling, a powerful catalyst for organizational development and transformative advocacy.
