James Colborn

I’m a qualified and experienced business leader with years of working in marketing, product sales strategy, selling and operations roles. I’ve been fortunate to experience working for amazing companies in both the United Kingdom and United States in an online advertising industry that has given me challenge and excitement. For the past 20+ years, I’ve led advertising and marketing practices for corporations like Microsoft, AOL and Verizon, around the globe. I’ve managed various disciplines during this time, from marketing, product marketing to sales strategy and operations. My skill is simplifying a decision, a course of action, a business model or an argument by using data, logic and clarity. My business is using these skills to connect advertisers and agencies with their desired audiences, with outcomes and with insight. I am a great communicator. I lead with vision and direction. I thrive in execution and I revel in the success of those I work for and those I work with. I have won accolades at every company I’ve worked for in management, leadership and teamwork. Outside of the corporate world, I relish in coaching race car drivers to find success in our collective passion for autosports. While the environment is totally different, the process is exactly the same. Finding simplicity in race car telemetry and communicating actionable decisions for racers to make.
