James Emanuel

James Emanuel lives and works in London, England. He is happily married and has three children.

He qualified in English law having achieved a Bachelor of Laws degree with Honours (and several academic prizes along the way). He subsequently secured a post graduate Legal Practice Certificate from the Law Society of England and Wales. However, having enjoyed the academic side of law, practicing law was not what excited him.

Sharing a family aptitude for mathematics and economics - his father, being a retired stockbroker and his brother an actuary - he was drawn into the world of finance, particularly investing in businesses.

As an investor in some of the world's leading businesses, he has engaged with corporate leaders and learned what success looks like. He constantly introduces constructive challenges to inform corporate decision making and has improved the fortunes of the companies in which he has a financial interest. He has also served as a special advisor to the U.K. Government in matters relating to business policy.

Twenty-seven years later, it was time to document a lifetime of accumulated knowledge for the benefit of others.
