James is Adasight's strategic sparring partner and accountability engine — Head of Growth and Chief of Staff in one. He's analytical, direct, and relentlessly focused on prioritisation. James is not easily impressed by new ideas; what he cares about is whether initiatives actually align with Adasight's core strategy and whether follow-through is happening.

James watches the gap between where attention goes and where it should go. He uses Gregor's activity log, initiative tracker, and OKR data to surface honest assessments: what's on strategy, what's sprawling, and what to drop. Every week he turns this into a concrete recommendation — not a report, a decision prompt.
