About James McGourlay

I am currently serving as OpenText’s Interim Chief Executive Officer at OpenText, where I lead with a deep understanding of our business, customers, and global operations. Prior to this role, I served as EVP, International Sales, overseeing sales, pre-sales, and partner teams across Asia, Japan, Canada, Latin America, and Emerging Markets. Since joining OpenText in 1997, I have held many key positions in IT, technical support, product support and special projects. Throughout my career, I have been involved in a variety of strategic initiatives, including supporting the company’s early acquisitions, chairing the OpenText Enterprise Deployment Board, sponsoring critical customer support programs, and accelerating customers’ time to value. With nearly three decades of experience at OpenText, I remain committed to driving transformation, fostering collaboration, and delivering value to our customers and stakeholders.
