Friday Five: Scinaptic’s James Fox
Every Friday we profile a prominent figure from Australia’s IT, telecommunications or video gaming industries in the Friday Five.
Like many executives, Scinaptic chief executive James Fox started work early, with a job as a paperboy at age 10. These day’s he’s focused on different things — the company’s OnePlaceMail product connects various Microsoft products like Outlook and Office with SharePoint — but he still has that energy and drive to get him up in the morning. Fox is this week’s guest on the Friday Five.
What was your first job ever?
My first paid job was a paperboy at age 10. I was a paperboy for about 3 years and it provided me a great opportunity to learn the basics of building relationships and selling to people of very diverse backgrounds.
At the time, I built up the paper round to sell confectionary, magazines and cigarettes (in the bad old days). I was responsible for providing my opinion of the ‘best’ paper of the day: The Daily Mirror or The Sun. As it turns out, I made more money from selling confectionary than papers (If I didn’t eat the profits).
