James is Deals Director and a founding investor in Planet Arborist.
Before investing in the Planet Arborist in 2019, James spent nearly 20 years working in M&A. During this time he met with founders John and Gilbert when they were working out how to democratise raising investment for growing businesses. The three of them hit it off immediately, sharing a passion for people, businesses and doing something that truly benefits our planet.
Over the last 20 years James has worked with many entrepreneurs, helping them grow their businesses, expand internationally and ultimately create value.
