I'm James an organisational consultant, leadership coach, and founder of RE:Works. I work with early-stage founders and scale-up leadership teams who are building fast and feeling the friction that comes with growth.

My consulting practice is built around CORE, a structured, practical framework that helps organisations gain clarity across eight critical pillars: strategy, structure, culture, process, people, performance, technology, and governance. Whether you're a founder trying to systematise your early chaos, or a leadership team trying to realign after rapid growth, CORE gives you a roadmap.

Before founding RE:Works, I spent over a decade in biotech and life sciences, including VP of Operations at a cell and gene therapy startup, serving as an advisor to deeptech and biotech companies, and coaching/mentoring individuals across the global. I've led cross-functional teams, driven operational transformation, and navigated the complexity of high-growth environments firsthand.

In mentoring, I offer:

– A structured diagnostic approach to identifying where your organisation is stuck
– Practical frameworks and tools you can implement immediately
– Honest, experienced perspective from someone who has been in the operational trenches
– Support for founders navigating the shift from operator to strategic leader
– Space to think through culture, values, and the human side of building a team

I work best with founders and leaders who are intellectually curious, action-oriented, and ready to do the work, not just talk about it. If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect.
