James Buchan

James Buchan is the Founder and CEO of ePass, the common component for licensing, registration and permitting, developed with and now live across the Scottish Government.

With over a decade of leadership in technology and digital transformation, James founded ePass with a mission to modernise how governments manage licensing and registration. Through ePass, he is supporting a shift from fragmented, manual processes to reusable and automated digital infrastructure that compounds in value across every new service and use case.

James believes better public services depend on trusted foundations: connected data, configurable systems and infrastructure that can support today’s users and tomorrow’s digital agents.
