In 2001, Chambers co-founded Conundrum Partners, a management advisory and investment firm. Previously, he served as the President of Business Services for Quest Diagnostics Inc., where he led key functions in the company's turnaround and growth strategy. His management of Quest's integration of SmithKline Beecham Clinical Laboratories resulted in a more than $2 billion increase in market value for the combined company.

"Summer Street is fortunate to be able to add Jim's many talents to our team of experienced partners," noted Mike McQueeney, managing partner.
