James is a bilingual French-English coach and trainer, who helps executives and senior managers unlock their potential inside and outside the workplace.

James’ coaching style has been described as challenging, energising and engaging. He offers clients a space where they can step outside their comfort zone, reconnect with their inner motivators, and explore opportunities for growth. Playfulness and humour are central to his experience of the world, and often make appearances in his coaching sessions.

James has a particular interest in work/non-work balance. He sees the professional identity of clients as a component part of their broader identity, and respects the highest standards of confidentiality of the coaching industry. Because of this, he makes space for reflection and insights coming from beyond life at the office.

James began his career in mergers & acquisitions advisory with J.P. Morgan in France. He has worked in investment and non-profit sector roles in Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from McGill University in his native Canada, and a Master of Finance from France’s Sciences Po. He trained as a coach with London’s Academy of Executive Coaching.
