Some might say it's like herding cats A phrase that I've come to understand when dealing with fantastic minds and entrepreneurial spirits. James helms this with Alacrity in such a sublime way. He is a fabulous mentor, I've learned significant amounts from him when calm, and when direct in response to expectations. I've been privileged to work with him and Alacrity, who are developing incredible technology innovations which are adopted the world over. Managing that program of creativity through; learning, mentorship, and enablement makes it definitely easier for most to adopt and co-opt, under his tutelage. It's a joy every time I get to go down to alacrity, to see the brightest and best in innovation reaching their potential under his very skillful guidance. #alacrity #leadership #innovation

James was a massive part of Surples start, ensuring we had a solid foundation to build off of. He helped in many areas of the business including marketing, sales, tech and finance. Beyond that, he would help refine our ideas, introduced us to numerous helpful leads and brought in a lot of useful structure for our meetings, making sure we didn't waste our own time. James is one of the most hard-working people I have had the pleasure of professionally interacting with. I think James could provide nearly any early-stage startup with very some very impactful help.

James is a fantastic startup coach and mentor and his involvement in Surple's development has been immensely valuable. During our time at The Alacrity Foundation, James played a significant role in establishing solid foundations at Surple. His broad experience enabled him to advise us on marketing, sales and technology. This advice was insightful but also incredibly practical, which is essential in the early days of business. Most importantly, though, James was always there when we needed him. He would go above and beyond to provide us with the right support, exactly when we needed it — even if it was just a shoulder to cry on. I'd urge any startup founder to get in touch with James if you want to take your idea or business to the next level.
