Our Team
James Kinnard
Founder / CEO
James loves helping organizations be more effective. Before starting Useful Group in 2016, James led the marketing team at Crossway for seven years, where he first saw what can happen when great missions and smart creatives come together. If he’s not hanging out with his wife and kids, he’s probably reading Neal Stephenson, Dorothy Dunnett, or something useful for our clients.
