Any info on Jim Donovan GS Md

Hey has anyone ever worked with him or has interacted with him?  We all have pretty much watched the “ are you destined to deal” uva lecture on YouTube; any insights on the guy(culture, work ethic etc) would be appreciated

I had the unfortunate displeasure of working with this guy. He is the biggest suck bag; don't buy into this guy's BS. Such a jerk and so mean. Hope Hicks is not a celebrity or a model either.  So she thinks, I'm sure. She worked in the White House briefly for Trump. Whoopy! No one in the Senate is a celebrity unless you're Trump, McConnell, Lindsey Graham, or Manchin. No idea how she kisses that guy..the disgusting junk that he is.
