James Dietrich

Full details

I’m all about helping businesses grow and expand globally. As the UK Commercial Director and Partner at Think & Grow, I work with a fantastic team to make international expansion smoother and more successful for our clients. Before this, I was with Acclime, guiding companies into the APAC and US markets. I’ve had the chance to build partnerships and drive growth at places like etika, The Dining Club Group, and even in sports marketing with Lagardère Sports. With over a decade of experience across different industries, I love connecting people and businesses with opportunities that make a real impact. Let’s build something great together!
