James Pitcher

James Pitcher is no stranger to hard work. Immediately after high school James enlisted as a helicopter mechanic in the Marine Corps where he developed a desire to become a helicopter pilot. To accomplish his dream, James joined the Army and before long was flying Hueys in Colorado Springs, and Blackhawks in South Korea and at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where he continued until his military retirement. After the Army, he trained pilots at American Airlines for a number of years.

Although James recognized and cherished his accomplished flying record, his determined spirit was calling him to apply his experience in a new career-project management. It was while he was pursuing an MBA in project management that he met Hyder Naqvi, Founder and CEO of Injala.

The two shared a number of classes and quickly found they worked well together. Hyder's technical prowess combined with James' skill at simplifying and communicating difficult technical concepts led them to determine theirs was a match worth exploring.

When Hyder approached James with a proposition to start a company, without hesitation James responded, "Hell yes!"

James currently lives in Dallas where he enjoys walking around his neighborhood and sampling new restaurants in the area. He also enjoys traveling the globe in his spare time.
