Our Team

I have always enjoyed working in construction. It is a dynamic, fast moving industry and the diversity of people involved makes it an exciting industry to be apart of. Couple that with emerging technology and improving business processes and I have found my place in the contech space. Our aim is to help make job sites safer by working with clients, industry and tech partners to develop solutions and insights that drive better outcomes. I am also passionate about 'life' balance and endeavour to instill this philosophy into our business, staff and family life.

After qualifying as a Chartered Professional Accountant with Deloitte, I joined SaaS-based Kinaxis where I served as Controller through its IPO on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Subsequently I served as CFO at Rockgarden Cannabis through its capitalization and sale to Auxly, and as CFO at Embotics through its capitalization and sale to Snow Software. I joined HammerTech at a very exciting time. The Company’s ambitious and energetic team has built a quality product, which provides a hard ROI to a large but under-serviced market through a repeatable sales process – all ingredients required for big success!

James is passionate about building powerful SaaS platforms, that empower people to focus on their core business.

I bring over 18 years industry experience in both software development and IT operations. In an age where innovation is occurring at a breakneck pace I understand the first and foremost - performance, reliability and security are the core foundations of any successful product.

When not at my desk, you'll find me running trails through the Dandenongs and Yarra Valley.

I’ve worked for the past 25 years in software with the last 12 years in the SaaS based construction technology space.  A majority of my time has been spent working with customers to help ensure they receive the maximum value from the application while receiving the best implementation/customer success experience possible.  At HammerTech, the implementation, success, and support teams’ goal is to help our customers utilize the application in the most effective manner to ensure their workers, subcontractors, and site visitors get home to their families and friends safely.   To help achieve this goal, the team will always be readily accessible, possess expert domain knowledge, and provide exceptional support.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, biking, running, spending time with my family in SE Michigan, and hanging with my dog, Zoey.
