Bio

James and I worked together delivering AI middleware to AAA game studios. As the BD lead it was vital for early engagement with potential customers that I had someone with detailed technical understanding to underpin my broader business pitch. James was masterful in this role: listening carefully to the studio’s description of their project and specific challenges, and identifying not just how our tech could solve their problems but also how we could engage the project beyond the studio’s expectations. Outside of this specific context James and I sat on the Senior Management Team together where he was an enthusiastic but steadying influence, ensuring that our business strategy was actually technically deliverable. James was a joy to work with and I’d recommend him to any ambitious company delivering cutting edge tech.
