James is a Managing Director responsible for originating, executing and managing majority and minority investments across the mid-market in the Technology and Consumer sectors.

Before joining Inflexion in 2018, James spent seven years at PwC where he worked in audit, before moving into the corporate finance M&A team. During his time in M&A, James worked cross-sector on a wide range of buy and sell-side deals, including cross-border transactions and accelerated disposals.

James enjoys all sports, with a particular passion for football that has led him to become trustee of football and education charity, Kinetic, which is supported by the Inflexion Foundation. James is a long-suffering West Brom and England fan, which have each taught him a character-building thing or two about resilience.

He has a first class degree in Spanish and Portuguese from The University of Manchester and is qualified as a Chartered Accountant with the ICAEW.

Above all, Inflexion’s flexible approach to investing and high calibre of people attracted me to work here. Inflexion has a clear track record of investing in high quality businesses and partnering with excellent management teams – I’m excited to be part of such a talented group of people.
