ABOUT JAMES


How It All Started ...

James Burchill’s journey into technology began early, sparked by a fascination with AI and his first computer, the ZX80. That passion for programming and empowering others through technology has driven his career ever since. He studied computer science (and fine art) at college and, upon graduating, was hired by Oracle UK in Bristol, England.

Fast-forward a few decades: today, James is a business technology executive, software engineer, bestselling author, publisher, and marketing strategist with deep expertise in software development, AI, automation, marketing, and communications.

James specializes in leading high-performance teams, optimizing software initiatives for strategic growth, and driving AI adoption in fast-paced, tech-driven environments. His expertise in enterprise software, AI-driven automation, and process efficiency has helped organizations streamline operations, boost productivity, and navigate complex digital transformations.

Beyond technology, James is a proven marketing strategist and accomplished copywriter. His work includes the CAA’s “Little Green Men” campaign—their best-performing ad in 100 years—and a range of persuasive, results-driven campaigns built on a deep understanding of audience psychology, messaging, and business communications.

James has also been deeply involved in publishing and education. As an Associate Publisher and Editor-in-Chief for several trade magazines, he shaped content strategy, editorial direction, and industry thought leadership. His passion for education led him to serve as an adjunct professor at McMaster University and Sheridan College, teaching social media, marketing, PR, and technology-related subjects.

A bestselling author and course creator, James has taught over 35,000 students worldwide how to leverage technology, automation, and marketing strategies to simplify their businesses, boost efficiency, and build scalable success. Known for making complex topics simple and actionable, he’s trusted by both corporate leaders and entrepreneurs.

When he’s not leading teams, writing, or teaching, James enjoys coding, cooking, and cruising around Burlington, Ontario (Canada) on his Honda GoldWing – the city he proudly calls home. He’s focused on helping professionals, entrepreneurs, and businesses harness technology, automation, and smart marketing to create greater freedom and success.
