ISO Certification Service

Our consultants assist clients in designing and implementing standards-based systems for quality, safety, and security. We serve a variety of industries for a range of industry standards, including:

Jim Kachidurian

President

Jim has more than 30 years of experience in providing staffing and project management services. Prior to forming JJK Consulting, he started The Kent Group Associates, Inc. (KGA), an IT contingent staffing and solutions firm in 1990. KGA quickly morphed into a consulting practice primarily servicing the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. In 2009, KGA began working in the regulatory and compliance marketplace supplying ISO auditors to SGS, a Global Certifying body. The success of the audit practice within KGA has spurned the formation and launch of JJK Consulting Inc, a regulatory and compliance consulting practice.

Jim is experienced in the areas of vendor management, business analysis, information technology, and process improvement. His client roster has ranged from mid-size companies to multi-national corporations and included such notable companies as Computer Associates, SGS and Chubb Insurance, Mattel, Chrysler, Nestle, Estee Lauder, Pfizer and Barnes & Noble. He previously worked with Jarvis Walker and helped launch Carter McKenzie, both companies focused on IT staffing. He graduated Wilkes University in 1982 with a BS in Business Administration and majors in Marketing, Management and Economics.
