About the trainer
James Dong
Startup operator, advisor, founder & business owner, ex-Bain
As an empathetic and strategic leader, I care about research-backed approaches to managing people and work, and always keep long-term sustainability in mind (how could we continue operating well if I suddenly disappeared?).
This shows through my work in bringing automation and standardization to my own venture, to other start-ups building a foundation for scale, or to enterprises looking for operational excellence. What ensures my success is a positive energy that helps me connect quickly with the team and drive everyone toward a mutual goal.
I also coach/advise on transitions from operator to manager and learning to let go and build trust, especially for founders given my background at the earliest stages of a company onboarding new hires.
