James Vinicombe


Your Partner in Growth, Leads, and Investment.


Professional Journey:


My career spans multiple countries, industries, and disciplines. I began in Luxembourg, gaining in-depth experience in finance with firms such as State Street, HSBC Private Securities, and Bank of New York. These roles grounded me in financial markets, fund management, and client relationship excellence. In 2008, I returned to the UK and transitioned into business development, marketing, and consultancy. As the founder of Palantir Business Group and an independent consultant, I have spent over a decade helping firms acquire clients, raise capital, and grow sustainably.



Expertise & Impact:


I specialise in client acquisition, business development, lead generation, capital raising, and strategic consultancy for financial services and FinTech firms. My work combines deep industry knowledge with data-driven strategies to convert prospects into clients and investors, optimise pipelines, and achieve measurable growth.



Key Achievements:


  • Generated thousands of high-quality, conversion-ready leads for wealth managers, reducing acquisition costs to as low as £2 per lead.
  • Successfully raised multi-million-pound capital for property developments and private equity deals, securing investments from HNWIs, family offices, and institutional investors.
  • Built and managed long-term relationships with hundreds of clients, improving retention, engagement, and repeat business.
  • Designed and implemented advanced data management and automation strategies, optimising marketing workflows and maximising ROI.



Approach & Philosophy:


I take a hands-on, results-driven approach, combining strategic insight with tactical execution. Every solution I provide is bespoke, aligned with the client’s objectives, and designed to create long-term value. I thrive on solving challenges such as inefficient acquisition funnels, wasted marketing spend, and underperforming campaigns, turning obstacles into growth opportunities.



Defining Attributes:


At my core, I am a listener, problem-solver, and strategic partner. Clients trust me for my reliability, persistence, and resourcefulness. I embrace challenges, take calculated risks, and combine analytical rigor with creative thinking to deliver exceptional results. Beyond work, I am a dedicated family man, a Manchester United/Brighton supporter, and a lover of the countryside and craft beer.



Value Proposition:


What sets me apart is my ability to deliver tailored, outcome-focused solutions. From lead generation and pipeline optimisation to capital raising and digital strategy, I integrate financial acumen, marketing expertise, and entrepreneurial insight to provide a holistic approach that drives sustainable business growth. Every service is crafted to exceed expectations, maximise ROI, and build long-term business assets.

  • Proven track record of generating leads, securing investment, and increasing client revenue.
  • Bespoke, end-to-end solutions tailored to your unique challenges.
