James Watt is the visionary co-founder of BrewDog, a global craft beer powerhouse he transformed from a modest startup into a multi-billion-dollar brand.

The company now operates in 65 countries, employs nearly 4,000 people, and produces over 1 million cans of beer daily. Before founding BrewDog, James spent seven years as a captain of a North Atlantic trawler, an experience that shaped his resilience and bold leadership style. His journey from the high seas to the helm of a global brand is chronicled in his best-selling book, Business for Punks, translated into over 30 languages. Beyond his entrepreneurial successes, James is a sought-after investor, TED speaker, and advisor, recognised as the Great British Entrepreneur of the Year and honoured with an MBE for his contributions to entrepreneurship.
