Estelle James

Managing Partner - ECMS

I’m the managing partner for ECMS, Eames Group’s advisory-led managed solutions business, heading up its day-to-day operation while evolving its proposition globally.

I’ve held a number of leadership roles in consulting and managed services businesses, most recently as regional vice president for managed solutions at a talent management and consultancy business in the Benelux region for four and a half years. My career adventure has also taken me to Chicago, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Toronto.

What does being an opportunity maker mean to you?
For our SMEs and extended bench, it’s finding them the right fulfilling opportunities at the right time in the right market.

For our clients, it’s finding the right solution for their strategy by blending talent and technology; one that helps them get it right, cost effectively and efficiently. It’s about building a long-term sustainable solution, retaining and developing talent and facilitating continuous improvements.

What Eames value resonates the most with you and why?
The one that resonates the most is Ingrained Drive, because it encapsulates that drive to be the best. I love maintaining a high standard in everything I do. Something’s not worth doing unless you do it to the best of your ability. The next time you do it, it should be better as a result. You’re constantly improving. This is the value that epitomises a change mindset.
