James Mawson
Founder and CEO
James was editor of Private Equity News, part of Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal in London, for nearly four years until May 2010 when he launched Global Corporate Venturing as an independent title from his own publishing company, Mawsonia. This was followed by the launch of the second publication, Global University Venturing, in January 2012 to help academic researchers launch or develop their spinouts and work with external peers.
James Gunnell
Managing Director
James Gunnell joined as managing director in 2019. Working closely with the editorial team, James and his team seek to connect global investors and the wider innovation ecosystem with the information, insights and access they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. Prior to Mawsonia, James worked for the Financial Times where he served as managing director of FT Live, the events and conferences division of the FT newspaper. He holds a BA Hons from University of London.
