James
James graduated from the University of Washington in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Political Sciences. Shortly after, he moved to London where he began his career with one of London’s fastest growing serviced apartment companies where he grew the business through gaining new accounts and taking a hands-on approach. After successfully growing this company over a period of almost 5 years he left in order to pursue an advanced Global MBA degree from EDHEC Business School in Nice, France, one of Europe’s top business schools. Upon moving back to London he founded Urban Stay with his partner after raising significant capital investment internationally and within the UK.
James has since been shortlisted twice for the ASAP Rising Star Award in the Serviced Apartment Industry and has received the Certificate of Excellence from Bridgestreet Global Hospitality.
