​​Before founding TTL, Jamie spent 12 years in investment banking followed by a varied entrepreneurial career, in retail, product design, manufacturing in Asia, financial services and property development in the UK. His interest in tidal power stems from growing up and sailing in the Channel Islands, known for their powerful tides. In 2020, inspired by the foiling catamarans in the 2013 America’s Cup, which used stiff wing sails instead of traditional sails, he envisioned vertical wings arranged to harness offshore tidal energy. This led to his invention of TT2.
