Welcome / fáilte

Hi, I’m James, and you’ve found my corner of the Internet. 👋
I’m the CEO and Co-Founder of Encore, Europe’s leading marketplace for booking live musicians. Encore is already the world's most sustainable way to book musicians. 🌏 My goal is to build the biggest marketplace of its kind in the world.
I’m also a musician myself (mostly cello, piano & singing) and a competitive Ironman triathlete. Competitive in the sense that I take it too seriously, not that I actually win races…yet.
I tend to write mostly about startups, endurance sport, and music.
I’m also available as a public speaker and (occasionally) as a consultant to startups.
