BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

James joined Acuity as an Associate in 2021, bringing the best part of three years’ TMT-focused M&A experience, notably from his role at Equiteq. He also has a wealth of experience in private equity, spending four of his seven years at KPMG in the Private Equity Group working across the Transaction Services and Audit teams.

James has been involved in buy-side, sell-side and fundraising projects touching many corners of the technology sector, including cloud computing, cyber security, data analytics, ecommerce, manufacturing technology, martech and the broader software industry.

He is a qualified Charted Accountant and holds a Master’s in Accounting and Finance from the University of Technology, Sydney.

“Working with Acuity helped us to shape the business plan and how we communicate it, as well as ensuring we targeted a highly relevant pool of investors. Their advice and guidance has helped shape this process and bring it to a great outcome for the company and investors in a round that was significantly oversubscribed.”
