Hey, I'm James.

Security has the best BS detectors in tech, so here's the truth: I don't have this all figured out. I'm not cosplaying as a visionary. Chances are, I'm just a couple of mistakes ahead of you.

I write about organisational politics, influence, and strategic thinking because these are the areas I'm working on myself.

When I'm not, I'm usually halfway up a mountain with my camera. Same problem-solving mindset, better views.
