Before joining Rede, James worked within New Zealand banks for 15 years. Over that time he was able to work across a number of sectors and segments including Property Finance, Restructuring & Insolvency, Business, Commercial and Corporate banking.
Through this experience James grew an interest, passion & understanding of particular industries such as education, particularly early childhood, the broader Food & Beverage sector and any revenue model where contracted and recurring income exists.
James believes in challenging the status quo, surrounding oneself with great people and being compassionate and helping others.
Outside of work James is a sports enthusiast, particularly horse racing & cricket and he is supported (and kept honest) by his wife Jo and two daughters Olivia and Phoebe.
