Business Development
James brings a mix of technology and commercial leadership to Index Marine. Graduating with a BSc(Eng) in Electronic Engineering from the University of London, he started his career in aerospace electronics, before moving into technical support for a major semiconductor supplier. In 1992 he co-founded Oxford Semiconductor, a UK-based custom chip developer, which following a move to California grew into a thriving global business before it was acquired by a Silicon Valley chip company. Returning to the UK James consulted to a number of hi-tech start-ups and then became CEO to restructure an established audio company and reposition its technology for advanced tactile user interface into the consumer electronics, automotive and aerospace sectors. As well as maintaining a role in that business, James has now taken a business development role in The Peto Group and Index Marine.
