Working with James

I’ve spent 30 years in technology, moving from pre-sales and consulting into data, product development, software engineering, security and senior leadership.

Along the way, I deliberately returned to hands-on software development. That experience sharpened my understanding of engineering and delivery, and still shapes how I work. I have many examples of both lasting solutions and tactical interventions that I designed, built and drove to success.

As a technology director, I’ve worked with executive teams on investment, risk and priorities, while building internal capability. My MBA brings a broader business perspective to those decisions.

I’m comfortable discussing strategy with executives and getting into the technical detail when needed. My approach is pragmatic: understand the problem, make sensible build, buy or outsource choices, and apply enough governance without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Approach

Understand what matters
I start with the problem you’re trying to solve, what’s already in place and the constraints you’re working within. That means understanding the business priorities as well as the technology.
Work through the choices
I help you weigh the options and their trade-offs, including whether to build, buy or outsource. The aim is a sensible next step, with enough governance to manage risk without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Get involved where needed
My involvement can range from independent advice to practical delivery or ongoing leadership. We agree the scope and level of support around what your business needs.
