Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Duncan is a seasoned founder and technology executive with 17 years of experience building and scaling cloud, edge and web infrastructure businesses, currently leading PageLove to "rebuild the web for the AI age." A five-time founder with multiple exits (including ReasonablySmart → Joyent) he blends deep protocol and architecture expertise—HTTP, containers, and cloud fabrics—with hands-on product and sales experience, historically flying 250k air miles a year to close large telco and enterprise deals. He helped rearchitect UK government networks and establish Crown Hosting, delivering multi‑hundred-million pound savings and practical, secure public-sector infrastructure. James has a long advisory and mentoring pedigree across startups and enterprise (CloudOps, Datacratic, FounderFuel), coupling strategic technology roadmaps with execution. Based in Swanage, he pairs founder-level grit with rare operational fluency in both technical delivery and commercial scaling, often tackling org design and policy as well as code. Not obviously, he started as a teenage ISP founder in Canada, a thread that underpins a career-long focus on pragmatic infrastructure.
