James Cartwright

Commercially driven sales and business development professional with experience across technology, energy, and customer-facing industries. Passionate about consultative selling, relationship-building, and helping organisations solve real operational and business challenges through innovative solutions.

I have a strong interest in AI, SaaS, automation, and emerging technologies, particularly where they create measurable value through improved efficiency, customer experience, and business growth. My approach combines strategic thinking, communication skills, curiosity, and a genuine interest in understanding people and organisations.

Academically, I hold postgraduate qualifications in Sociology and Demography alongside a BA in Marketing and PR, giving me both analytical and commercial perspectives that support relationship-led sales and business development.

I thrive in ambitious, fast-moving environments where learning, resilience, and initiative are valued. Currently focused on opportunities in AI, SaaS, account management, business development, and enterprise sales.

Interests include AI, technology, psychology, meditation, fitness, writing, human behaviour, and personal development.
