James Blakemore

I’m Jim Blakemore: entrepreneur, investor, and advisor. My career has spanned oil & gas, real estate, manufacturing, environmental remediation, direct sales, and more. I’ve started, scaled, and sold companies, built strong teams, and transformed undervalued businesses into profitable, purpose-driven enterprises. At my core, I’m a builder—of businesses, people, and meaningful outcomes. Current Focus Today, my work centers on three main areas: • Iron Mountain Capital Group: Leading investor engagement and advisory board development for a fund-of-funds platform that connects top operators with aligned capital, structuring deals for long-term value. • Expedited Roofing Service Group: Driving an M&A roll-up to acquire, integrate, and optimize roofing companies, using a proven framework for due diligence and operational integration. • Execution Coaching: Helping founders and leaders bridge the gap between ideas and execution through clarity, discipline, and action. My Approach I’m known for spotting potential—in people, ideas, and overlooked opportunities. I think years ahead and turn vision into reality. I quickly identify talent and align people with the right roles. I communicate clearly and thrive on big, challenging ideas. Strategically, I move quickly but thoughtfully, gathering facts, streamlining systems, and adapting to uncertainty with precision. I’m reflective, intentional, and selective in building relationships and organizations.
