Nick James
I've spent 40 years in the corporate world, with the last 20 being in board or board minus one positions. I’ve stepped back from the major roles now, but I’m passionate about sharing my experience and supporting people climbing the executive ladder. My two major strands are mentoring, and providing personal websites.
As a mentor I bring real experience of the problems and choices you are facing. I’ll be very surprised if you can bring me a scenario that I haven’t encountered.. Practical advice that actually helps you do your job.
Personal websites are, I believe, a hugely underutilised technique for showcasing your skills and capabilities. And they are incredibly cheap. You can get online with a high quality website for about £12 per month

“Nick worked for me as a key overall software leader in our United Kingdom office. During Nick’s time with GE I interacted frequently with him and depended on him. He was always well organised and thrived under adversity. In many instances I placed Nick in situations where I felt only he could be successful and he never let me down. He was keenly devoted to his work, goal orientated and a true team player
