James McLetchie is a global executive with over 30 years of experience in finance, Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), operations, and business transformation. A Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA), he began his career at Price Waterhouse in Trinidad before earning an MBA in Finance and Management Information Systems from Purdue University. He later joined PwC in the United States, where he supported large-scale M&A integrations and growth initiatives across the technology and software sectors.
He spent 13 years at McKinsey & Company, leading transformation and M&A programmes in over 30 cities worldwide. He subsequently joined FTSE 50-listed AVEVA Group plc, where he oversaw the integration of one of its largest acquisitions and guided its transition to a SaaS business model.
Since joining Massy in 2021 as Group CFO, James focused on strengthening the Group’s financial foundation and expanding access to international capital. As CEO, he is advancing Massy’s transformation through a focus on developing leaders across the organisation, strengthening agility by empowering teams to make decisions closer to customers and partners. Supported by technology, including AI, this approach—what he calls “vertical leadership”—is building stronger execution, accountability, and unity of purpose. It positions Massy for sustained regional and international growth and impact while deepening its culture of trust, integrity, and shared success.
