James' Technology Timeline
Picture
James’ first IT job was at 13 selling computers to fellow students through his first business and hasn't looked back since.

Now in his 40s, he has spent the last 23 years working in both commercial and public sector IT with the last 14 years spent working in the education sector.

He is passionate about closing the digital divide and takes a pragmatic approach to the question of big corporate ICT vs. that found in schools.

As well as consulting with a number of schools, he is a Primary vice-chair of Governors and therefore has a good understanding of many of the issues faced across all sectors.

He is a regular speaker at education events and is always available to offer advice.

James has been into technology since he can remember, and some personal ‘milestone’ events are recorded opposite.
