James Bellamy
Consultant
I started my working career at BAE systems where I was trained in Electronic Engineering and worked in every aspect of their land and sea RADAR systems business. Having found engineering mathematics mind numbingly difficult, I decided to build on my childhood enthusiasm for computers and went to the University of Manchester to study Computer Science. I graduated in 2001 with a BSc honours degree and joined Accenture shortly after where I stayed for 8 years.
Accenture enabled me to build my skills and experiences in delivering complex systems integration programmes and developing IT strategies for companies around the world. I built great relationships with a number of clients across the retail, pharmaceutical and public sectors including Sainsbury’s, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck & Co, Merck Serono, Solvay and the MHRA (the UK’s pharmaceutical regulator).
I joined the Berkeley Partnership in 2009, driven by a desire to work more closely with my clients, and to help them address challenges in a way that makes most sense for them. At Berkeley I am also able to develop my skills and serve clients across a broad range of industry sectors, which is important to me as I thrive on new experiences and tackling fresh challenges.
Outside of work, I live with my partner Terri in East London. Our life has been turned upside down by the recent arrival of our first child, Peter, who is doing his best to keep us on our toes! In my (ever decreasing) personal time, I enjoy photography, mountain biking, playing squash, good food, and whenever possible, snowboarding.
