James Wright
Talent Manager
About me
At Seedcamp, I lead our Talent platform, working side-by-side with our founders as they scale their teams, advising on best practice, connecting them with incredible candidates, and introducing them to the best advisors to guide them through their growth journey.
Prior to this, I worked in the Executive Search industry, helping startups hire VP and C-Suite talent across Europe.
Away from the office, you won’t find me far from my camera, I find it a great way to switch off from the always-on nature of our work!
From Day One
Talent plays such a defining role in whether a venture succeeds or fails at these early phases. I feel privileged to be involved in supporting our founders, from making their very first hires, to building their leadership team as the business matures.
Personally, I’ve worked at two very early stage startups and also founded my own small venture, so I get the challenges associated with building in those early days. I get a lot of energy from meeting new people, and learning about their varied experiences and backgrounds, finding valuable connections that can be made across our ecosystem.
