James Scott is the Co Founder and COO of Stories, a purpose-led property development company that partners with landowners to deliver long-term social, economic and environmental outcomes. James' role is focused on product, strategy and marketing alongside the operational side of the business.
He is an Alumni of Trinity College, Cambridge where he read mechanical engineering and he is a member of the UKGBC's Social Value task force.
I sat down with James to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
· How he got into real estate
· The high’s, lows, and lessons learned along the way
· The biggest challenge right now
· Stories Business model: Principal Developer, Development Manager, Strategic Advisory
· What is true alignment with capital partners, developer, and asset owner
· Creating a financially sustainable and viable business
· Maximizing economic, social, and environmental impact for all stakeholders
· Measuring success through the triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental impact
· Advice for those earlier in their journey
· The future of Stories and what’s next
Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place James would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
