James Bradford

From the boardrooms of Tokyo to the digital hub that is Manila, my career has been defined by reshaping how sales and marketing work together. I specialize in Hybrid Business Development, a model that revolutionizes the intersection of these two functions. By fostering collaboration, breaking silos, and mentoring teams to think beyond their traditional roles, I’ve consistently driven extraordinary results.

In Japan, I mastered the art of the long game—cold-calling in Japanese, negotiating with senior decision-makers, and closing deals in a highly structured market. These experiences taught me patience, resilience, and strategic communication. In Manila, one of the world’s most digitally savvy and competitive markets, I learned to cut through the noise by aligning sales and marketing into a seamless, data-driven powerhouse.

At i3 International, I transformed a traditional sales team into influential thought leaders, breaking the notion of marketing as merely the "arts and crafts department." I empowered them to see marketing as an essential partner, driving both revenue and brand impact. Together, we created a culture of collaboration that fueled growth and innovation.

Bringing this expertise to the U.K., I’m passionate about helping businesses unlock the potential of their sales and marketing teams. My success lies not just in metrics but in the teams I’ve built and the leaders I’ve mentored. With a deep understanding of global markets and a proven ability to unite strategy with execution, I’m ready to drive impactful change.

Only someone like James would have been able to turn around the performance of a company that was lacking leadership and clear guidance. I truly recommend him for any challenging and demanding turnaround project that needs a multicultural and seasoned C-level officer.
