Jim Davis
Chairman
In 1983 Jim Davis co-founded a specialized staffing company that has grown into Allegis Group, the country’s largest private staffing firm.
A decade ago Jim met John Erickson, founder of Erickson Retirement Communities, a leader in developing and managing full-service retirement communities. They came to realize they shared a passion for service, particularly to seniors and insistence on mission-driven company cultures and a strong sense of giving back to the community.
When an opportunity to take a leadership role in the company presented itself, Jim visited all 19 Erickson campuses to see for himself, and hear from the residents, what the Erickson lifestyle meant.
In 2009 Redwood Capital Investments, a private firm Jim had established, signed a letter of intent to acquire assets of Erickson Retirement Communities. The acquisition was completed in May 2010. The new company is known as Erickson Living.
Today, Erickson Living’s delivery of outstanding service and resident satisfaction is matched by a strong financial position. The company is positioned for growth and is the strongest capitalized company in the industry.
Moving forward, Jim’s goals for the company are to re-energize the business, build on the missiondriven service culture and the company’s record of innovation and grow in a disciplined manner to serve the growing population.
Jim, a native of suburban Philadelphia, graduated from Villanova University. He lives outside Baltimore with his wife and teenage son and daughter.
