Data Storyteller and Investment Writer, Founder of Eeagli (LinkedIn Top Voices 2022 - Finance)

I make data dance because when numbers come alive you can see the world for what it is.

I’m James Eagle, a data visualisation specialist, keynote speaker, and seasoned investment writer with two decades of experience in asset management and banking industries. I’ve developed unique techniques that transforming complex topics into clear, compelling stories.

What I Do:

→ Data Visualisation: I bring stories to life through visuals that cut through the noise, revealing truths you might miss that help you start conversations that matter.

→ Thought Leadership: My upcoming book, From Chaos to Clarity (launching July 10), explores how data visualisation could help save humanity from a world drowning in data.

→ Keynote Speaking: When step on stage I ignite the room, bringing data to life through my powerful animated visualisations.

→ AI Innovation: I'm building an AI language model that lets you upload and explore massive datasets, uncover the hidden stories beneath the numbers, and transform these discoveries into powerful visual narratives.

→ Social Media & Communication: I consult with companies of all sizes to help them tell better stories online, bridging the gap between complexity and clarity.

Why It Matters: Because data, when brought to life, has the power to shift perspectives, shape strategies, and ignite new ideas.
