Introduction to James

Hi, I’m James, the director of JFC. Thanks for your interest in my company.

Let me introduce myself: I have over 15 years of experience in strategy consulting and business transformation. Graduating with a degree in PPE from Oxford University in 2009, I had a great introduction to unsettled financial times. Experience with LEK Consulting gave me a grounding in strategy consulting, including a lot about financial analysis and quantitative modelling. A few years in the strategy team at Centrica plc helped me to understand how these skills can be used to get results within a large organisation, as well as the importance of areas like pricing and organisational transformation.

I launched James Fox Consulting Ltd in 2013, delivering high-impact projects for household names like Coca Cola, Sainsburys and Pizza Hut, as well as a range of boutique consulting projects, mostly focused on transaction services and CDD. I took a break from consulting when a client, Gatwick Airport, asked me to found their Strategy and Commercial Analytics team. What was meant to be a short project to set up the team expanded to include shepherding my new team through the chaos caused by Covid-19 in the aviation industry, and JFC was relaunched the day that South Terminal reopened to passengers in March 2022.

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution, delivering measurable results for clients. I aim to find bespoke, cost-effective solutions to real business problems and deliver a solution, not just a slide pack.

I’m happy working solo, fitting into your existing consulting or strategy/finance team, or brining along a team of my own. I look forward to discussing how we can work together to delight your customers and investors.

Thanks for your interest,

James
