Team

Founder & CEO

As Founder and CEO, James built Hula Markets out of a passion for both financial markets and the online gaming industry, and a drive to solve a significant gap in the market. James brings 9 years of enterprise sales and relationship management experience from a Silicon Valley technology company, working across San Francisco, New York, and Singapore. As a key member of the team that scaled the business from $8M to $80M ARR, he built and managed partnerships with some of the world's largest hospitality and gaming operators, including Caesars Entertainment, Wynn Resorts, Resorts World, Las Vegas Sands, Solaire Resort & Casino and Okada. James established the company's foundation in the Philippines by signing its first enterprise customers and enterprise casino deals, growing the business into the market leader in the Philippines prior to his departure to start Hula Markets. A graduate of both law and finance, James combines commercial instincts with a deep understanding of how to structure and close complex B2B software deals in the gaming industry.
