James is a senior at Sir Winston Churchill and is ecstatic to serve as the director of logistics for STRIVE 2027. He clearly remembers his first case competition at Prosper 2024, going in with zero preparation, zero business knowledge, and zero prior experience. He was a scared kid entering the world of case competitions. However unsuccessful his first conference may have been, Prosper had kindled a flame within him. He became eager to acquire all the business knowledge he could as a high schooler, talking to like-minded individuals around him and forming teams to attend more case competitions. 3 years later, he finds that he is now a part of the organization that seemed too far from reach. When he isn’t booking rooms and tallying teams’ scores, he can be found creating his investment watchlist, farming UGC videos, or playing basketball at the Richmond Oval. He hopes that all attendees, whether they are complete beginners or seasoned veterans, will strive to make the most of their experience at this year’s conference.
