During and following business school, he gained venture capital raising and senior level management experience as Senior Director of Finance & Operations with Avero Inc., a hospitality focused, venture-backed, start-up technology company.

James began his real estate career with The Related Companies in NYC as the Assistant Project Manager on one of the most high profile large-scale mixed-use projects in the nation, CityPlace in West Palm Beach, FL, and later, to a more limited extent, the Time Warner Center in NYC. Following college, he was with Barclays Bank PLC in investment banking.
