James Holt

IT Career Consultant & Digital Strategist · Hamburg

Eighteen years across corporate IT and digital agency environments — twelve in Tier 1 manufacturing infrastructure, six advising agencies and hiring teams across Europe. This site documents what I’ve learned on both sides of the table: what actually gets people hired, what makes agencies worth working for, and where European tech careers are heading.
