Introduction
During the 1990s, he served as a Managing Director at Millennium Management LLC, a leading New York based hedge fund – James was responsible for Millennium’s equity, fixed income, future and other derivative investments across global financial markets. He built an excellent track record on Wall Street and had an average annual trading volume of over $10 billion.

At the invitation of the Chinese Government, James moved back to China in the year 2000 and was appointed Executive Vice President of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”). During his ten-year tenure at the SSE, James was involved in every major reform across the Chinese capital market. He built an extensive professional network composed of important policy/decision makers, regulators, broker dealers, financial institutions, listed public companies and prominent investors. James was recognized as one of the fifteen “Influential Players on the World Business Stage” by the Wall Street Journal (Asia) in 2001.

In June 2011, James participated in the founding of Sailing Capital at the invitation of the Shanghai Government and the Shanghai International Group (“SIG”). His extensive professional network and renown in the Chinese financial markets combined with the clout of the SIG led to the successful raising of the RMB 9 billion Sailing Capital International Fund; Sailing’s main financial backers have included leading Chinese conglomerates and financial institutions. Sailing Capital thus became the first Chinese large-scale RMB denominated international investment fund, a fund with significant strategic importance. James worked hand-in-hand with the People's Bank of China (“PBoC”) and Sailing Capital became the only fund specifically authorized by the PBoC to freely move RMB in and out of China without being subjected to capital controls, becoming a forerunner in the government’s continuing effort to internationalize the RMB.

Education
James holds a doctorate in physics from University of Kansas.
