“Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable” – William Pollard

James Corby – Managing Director

Leader & Entrepreneur

As a business leader and entrepreneur, I value fearless creativity and inspire loyalty.

My hard won experience has taught me that creative people need passion and courage to face their fears and to achieve their potential. To do this they require trust, mentoring and nurturing from their leaders.

Their leaders need to create an environment that motivates and inspires them to take risks, generating both strong financial returns and a healthy dividend for the body and soul.

My philosophies in business, as in life, centre around the practice of loyalty.

Loyalty isn’t an abstract concept or a buzzword to me; it’s something I give and I expect to receive in return. It’s at the heart of all my key professional and personal relationships.

I’ve learned that in order to receive loyalty from clients and staff, you have to give loyalty in return.

The willingness to be fearlessly creative and surround myself with fiercely loyal people has enabled me to be bold in building my career and the Oracle Digital business.

My vision for Oracle Digital is to grow a business that attracts tech-savvy, creative and restlessly energetic people and nurtures their dreams to bring new technology products and services to the world.

Leadership requires vision and courage. The vision to see what needs to change and how it could be done better, and the courage to do the hard yards and fight the battles against naysayers, competitors and especially against your own doubts and fears.

Working in the WA resources and technology sectors and with web-based businesses has demonstrated to me the absolute necessity to embrace change and new technology in order to drive greater productivity and business resilience and most importantly, unlocked the creative potential of people.

My focus is to deliver profitable outcomes for my clients by developing bespoke, data-driven marketing strategies that use creative ideas and our industry expertise.

Our strategies are aligned with and based on, a sound knowledge of your business growth objectives and the values that drive you and your company.
