leverage his experience to deliver great results at a reasonable cost. His
knowledge of the consumer device business is exceptional. He has seen a lot of
products, knows what would and won’t work and has the contacts to get valuable

“James has helped us multiple times. And his deep experience with tier 1
PC OEMs & ODMs has been very helpful in building a very pragmatic business
case for our investors. And when investors met with James and grilled him on
how a tiny startup like us could sell our product to tier 1 PC OEMs/ODMs, all
of them were very satisfied by his answers. In fact, the investors after a long
conversation with James said to me: if you can build a product, James can
definitely sell it to any tier 1 PC OEM/ODM!”
