James Thornburg is a seasoned IT professional and Enterprise IT Strategist at Bridgepointe Technologies with extensive experience in business development, direct sales, and channel management. He has a Bachelor's degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and has worked for technology companies such as Single Path, Paetec, Smoothstone IP Communications, and Gobeam.

James is also known as the "Cold Call King" due to his passion for connecting with potential new customers through cold calling. He records and posts real-life videos of his cold-calling escapades, where he demonstrates his craft and humanizes the dreaded "ring ring." His goal is to create less friction during the sales process for IT leaders and provide them with the information they need to make informed decisions.

As an IT leader himself, James is uniquely positioned to offer a different approach to technology sourcing and supplier evaluation. He leverages Bridgepointe's network of vetted suppliers to quickly identify the best fit for a client's specific use case, saving them time and effort. His approach is focused on building human-to-human connections with potential customers, a skill that he has mastered over the years.
