James is an experienced director, entrepreneur, and CEO at Supply Pilot, with over 25 years’ experience in retail, food, manufacturing and packaging. The beginning of his career as an engineer in manufacturing and factory automation enabled James to witness first-hand the timely and costly production delays resulting from a breakdown in communication and disconnect between retailers and their first-tier suppliers. This is what engendered his ever-growing passion for supplier collaboration. Together with the Supply Pilot team, James works to tackle key sustainability and compliance challenges for some of the world’s leading brands. His message is clear: if all suppliers can make all products a bit more sustainable, the cumulative impact is enormous. In addition to his leadership role at Supply Pilot, James is currently enrolled on his third course with the University of Cambridge's Institute for Sustainability Leadership, where he continues to advocate the need for inclusive supplier engagement.
