About James
Hi! I'm a Columbia MBA, former McKinsey consultant, and current Head of Partner Strategy & Operations at Salsa.

Why do I coach?
If it hadn't been for the amazing coaches and mentors I've had throughout my career, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my goals. I love to pay it forward and help others do the same.
