ABOUT JAMES THOMASON
I build and scale high-performing mobile engineering organizations that power revenue-critical customer experiences. I currently lead Grainger’s cross-platform mobile engineering organization (iOS, Android, AWS BFF). My focus is simple: build strong teams, modernize platforms, and deliver business impact with operational excellence. Over the past several years, I have: • Unified previously siloed platform teams into a single mobile organization • Increased release velocity 116% through SDLC modernization • Improved crash-free sessions from 98.3% to 99.8% • Reduced support burden 21% through enterprise observability transformation • Built and scaled a new mobile product from concept to enterprise adoption I care deeply about: Building durable engineering culturesDeveloping managers and senior engineersClear accountability and ownershipContinuous delivery and trunk-based developmentData-informed operational excellence (DORA, observability, reliability) I’m particularly energized by roles where mobile is a strategic customer channel — and where engineering leadership directly shapes product and business outcomes. If you’re building or scaling mobile engineering teams, I’d love to connect.
