James Duong

James grew up working in his family restaurant business. This experience shaped him deeply, as he saw first hand the impact a small business can have on its owners, employees, customers, and broader community.

Beyond the restaurant, James went on to pursue an MBA from Cornell University, and worked in the legal industry at global law firms like Proskauer Rose and Latham & Watkins. He was the youngest member of the executive strategy committee at Proskauer Rose because he brought a proactive approach to business development.

James also has experience scaling a tech-enabled service company called Spaceflow, where he led US expansion and business development.
