Top SchoolJames Moore is a seasoned CEO and investor with 15+ years leading rapid-growth tech businesses and a track record of operational roles across marketplaces, consumer platforms and global marketing. Currently CEO of Shift and a serial backer/advisor across marketplace aggregators and consumer startups, he combines marketing origins with deep experience running cross-functional product, supply and data teams to scale businesses quickly. His resume spans senior leadership at eBay, Amazon and Trainline through to multiple non-exec and investor positions, reflecting both hands-on operating chops and portfolio-level strategic judgement. James is particularly focused on the mechanics of integrating marketing, digital product and data science—having learned pragmatic lessons on what accelerates or derails scale. Based in the UK, he brings founder-level curiosity to boardrooms and day-to-day execution, often stepping into COO-style roles to operationalise growth.
