JMP celebrates the retirement of Chuck Boiler

AllisonHines

After 28 years at JMP, we say a fond farewell to Chuck Boiler (@chuck_boiler), a long-time colleague and friend, who is embarking on his well-deserved retirement. Chuck's contributions to JMP have been immense, leaving a lasting impact on the company and its employees.

During the recent Sales Kickoff, Nicholas Shelton (@nick_shelton) led a tribute, highlighting Chuck's unique ability to connect with people quickly and deeply. He shared photos showcasing Chuck's involvement in various JMP activities, from staffing customers at Discovery to enjoying Guinness with colleagues on an Elite trip in Ireland. One photo even showed Chuck's creative side, with a graph builder plot made of cans and donations. Another captured his active listening skills and the confidence he instilled in his colleagues.

Nick also spoke of Chuck's dual role as both an SE and an SE manager, emphasizing his helpfulness, guidance, and advocacy for his team. He described Chuck as a "Superman" who always had answers and support to offer.

Michael Scruggs (@Michael_Scruggs) shared an anecdote about Chuck's remarkable recruiting efforts, suggesting that he single-handedly brought dozens of people to JMP.

Curt Hinrichs (@curt_hinrichs) praised Chuck's kindness, humility, and thoughtfulness, highlighting his impact on JMP's business and his contributions to the "Chuckinar" webinars and the "JMP Essentials" book.

Lori Casto (@lori_casto) echoed these sentiments, calling Chuck the "heart and soul" of JMP and sharing his ability to brighten even the toughest days. She recalled his dedication and his knack for offering unique perspectives. Bonnie Rigo (@bonster) shared a more personal tribute, reminiscing on 30 years of stories and expressing how much she will miss Chuck.

While Chuck's departure is bittersweet, colleagues are excited for him to enjoy his retirement. Nick joked about Chuck's plans to spend time at his cabin in Oregon, travel to New Orleans or Las Vegas, and perhaps even experience Oktoberfest in person. The overall sentiment was one of gratitude for Chuck's contributions and well wishes for a happy and fulfilling retirement filled with whatever adventures he chooses. The good news is that Chuck will be joining the team again in April for one last send-off at Reunion, so it's not goodbye, but rather, "see you later."

Chuck's last day at JMP is Feb. 28. Be sure to share stories and wish him well in the comments below!

@chuck_boiler Dos Equis thinks they have the most interesting man in the world. I staunchly disagree - that title is owned by Chuck Boiler. If you've never really, and I mean really, spoken to Chuck, you're missing out. This guy has had so many unique chapters to his life, I just cannot wait for him to explore the next. As one of the best managers I've ever had, he's the most active listener you'll ever speak to and has true compassion and interest in humankind. Always striving to learn more, and beyond that, always striving for you to learn more. Chuck, here's to your and your retirement NEXT WEEK - crazy - and congratulations my friend!!

Paul_Nelson

Known you for a long time, since one of my earliest trips to LinuxWorld in SF. Congratulations!

alisa_h_lowery

Congratulations Chuck! I think you have hired more than half of the SEs! Enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

DonMcCormack

Thanks for all these years of friendship and comradery. I remember meeting you on the bus to Building V or F back at the 2004 JMP User Conference when I was a customer. I had no idea that I'd get the chance to work with you just 4 years later. I am so lucky to have had that opportunity. Thanks for everything you've done and shared over the years. I'll miss you but I'm happy you'll have more time to spend on yourself and those around you. Hope we'll cross paths again in the future.

Chuck, I am so happy for you on the occasion of your retirement! And so glad we'll have a chance to bid you farewell in person at Reunion this April. Congratulations on reaching this milestone and best wishes for many adentures in retirement!!!

anne_milley

Chuck, it's with sadness that we lose another one of JMP's culture keepers, but it's with gratitude that we got to work with you over the years, and it's with excitement for you, that we wish you a beautiful retirement! I know you are retiring not just from JMP, but retiring TO things that bring you joy. All the best!

Chuck, Cheers to you and your next chapter!

A wonderful human, certainly the most empathic listener I've ever met, and my doorway into JMP, thank you always for making time to connect with me (and listen) in my industry days between circa 2015 and 2021. May we continue to benefit from your thoughtful and kind essence, and carry on your legacy of compassionate leadership at JMP.

John_Sall

I remember meeting you at Statview before you joined JMP, and you made a very good impression from the start. Thank you for all that you have done cultivating and helping users to become comfortable and productive with JMP. Thank you for your leadership for our great team of SE's that you have hired and trained. We will much miss you.

Phil_Kay

It's so hard to imagine JMP without you, Chuck. You were one of the first people to welcome me and offer your help when I came to Cary for my first kickoff. You were true to your word. And you are the big reason why we have such a supportive, collaborative community of SEs at JMP. And hence why being a JMP SE is the best job in world. See you in April!

Elias_Pickrahn

I can't think of anything to write that others haven't already said more eloquently. Chuck, JMP won’t be the same without you. Thank you for the great conversations— I will miss you! Wishing you all the best for this next chapter in your life.

martindemel

Chuck, we definitively will miss you! Thanks for all the conversations and advices you gave me since the very first time we met in Cary during the SE Summit in summer 2012 during Meeker's training session on MSA for the SEs. I had literally just signed the contract few days before my flight to Cary and started few months later - what a crazy time that was. I felt so welcome and this didn't change since then.

All the best for your next endeavor! Warm regards, Martin

Bob_Hickey

Chuck is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I first met Chuck over 27 years ago. I joined JMP, and SAS had just purchased Abacus, which had the StatView product. Fortunately for us, Chuck (and Bonnie) came with StatView.

@chuck_boiler - Thanks for all the help over the years, especially the early years when we worked together to get StatView into the SAS processes for delivery to customers. It was always a joy to see you when you traveled to HQ here in Cary, NC. See you at the 2025 Reunion.

ashley_prince

Chuck, you are one of the most beautiful people on earth. We will miss you so much, but thank you for sharing your talents with us for so long. I will always treasure your words of wisdom - best wishes in your next chapter!

kathy_walker

Congratulations on your retirement! You are one of the most amazing people I've ever known. You will be missed! Here's to celebrating you and all the exciting times ahead! Cheers!

HadleyMyers

While our roles in different continents have not provided nearly enough opportunities for interactions as I would have liked, I've learned a lot from you and have come to value deeply every one of our conversations. For me, you represent everything that makes JMP a great place to work. Congratulations on your retirement and best wishes for your new phase of life.

Paul-Mastropolo

Chuck, it's so touching to read all of the comments submitted by JMP staff around the world. You have made such a positive impact to JMP and will be deeply missed. I remember how warm and welcoming you were to me when I came over to JMP and have really enjoyed working with you. Thank you for all you have done to promote a positive culture at JMP. I wish you all the best in retirement and look forward to connecting at Reunion.

flo_kussener

I can't get used to the fact that you won't be part of JMP anymore. Ever since my job interview, you've been one of those people I look forward to seeing at kickoffs and meetings in Cary. I'm definitely going to miss your attentiveness, caring and kindness.

Thank you for all the advice you've given me over the years.

Enjoy this new chapter!

SNeighbours

Chuck- Working with you has been a privilege and a masterclass in leadership. You will be truly missed, but your influence will continue. Wishing you all the best and lots of fun in retirement!

AmyStuart

I sure will miss you. At any big JMP event, I knew I could sit next to you and we'd have an interesting chat. The same goes with Andrew. Best of the best to you both.

Meg_Hermes

Dear Chuck, It's hard to imagine JMP without your bright light. Your leadership has undeniably left a lasting impact on the entire organization and what it means to be part of our community. It’s been a joy working with you over the years. Wishing you all the best in retirement—be sure to say hello whenever you’re in Boston!

malcolm_moore1

Chuck, you have set the standard so very high in JMP leadership qualities nurturing curiosity, confidence, connections, and caring for our people. Delivered with such calmness and leaving us with an inspiring and capable team of SEs. You have contributed so much in scaling the impact of what JMP delivers – faster innovation to deliver better products at lower cost for our communities. We’ll miss you!

Diana_Levey

I can't write much because I have tears in my eyes. Simply put: You're the best, Chuck! Love ya!!!

Emmanuel_Romeu

I remember the training sessions you organized few years ago, and I appreciated your ability to listen and your kindness. I wish you a happy retirement.

Jason_Wiggins

This is definitely not goodbye, Chuck. Thank you so much for all your kindness and support over the many years I have known you. Look forward to chatting sometime soon perhaps at a fun cafe over a glass of wine or something nice!

Robin_Betters

I'm so sad to you see you go, but I know we'll see each other again soon. So long, farewell and nothing but best wishes for you and Andrew!

hannah_martin

Congratulations, Chuck! Best wishes in your retirement.

Mike_P

Chuck, I will miss you. We'll always have Decatur and Waukegan in the rain.... with crutches, walking boots, flat prop airplane tires and good company. Thanks for being so great.

Mike

AntoineSmith

What I can say Chuck. You've always been great to me, and I have truly loved working with you over the last 15 years. It's been great. I wish you all the best in your retired life and hope to stay in touch!

wendytseng

You always made me feel like I mattered - as a human (not just as an employee or prospective employee). You elevate every interaction and situation with your thoughtfulness and kindness.

I wish all the best for you and Andrew in your new phase. Please let me take you both to lunch the next time I'm in the Bay Area!

AtsukoIono

Chuck-san,
I was surprised to hear that you were retiring, as I always thought you would be here at JMP.
Everyone will miss you who led JMP.
If you have time, please come and visit Japan. We'll be waiting for you!
