With a degree in Mechanical and Electronics Engineering and a passion for racing, James' career in Formula 1 was all but guaranteed. Unfortunately, he was unaware that a third aspect was needed, namely capability.
So he refocused his efforts on a more conventional career as a technology consultant for PA Consulting, designing and improving products for some of the world's leading consumer, medical and pharmaceutical companies. Previous clients include Coca Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Hershey's, British American Tobacco and Pfizer.
James left PA to build a technology consultancy as co-founder, growing the company from 2 to 12 full-time employees in under 2 years. He subsequently decided to sell his shares in the consultancy and took a role as an investment analyst for a boutique IP investment company, where he rose through the ranks to investment manager in under three years.
James now heads up the investment team at SyndicateRoom as Chief Investment Officer. His key responsibilities include deal attraction, selection and management, as well as growing and managing our rapidly expanding investor network.
