James Barrett

James Barrett is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tenant Turner, a property management software company based in Richmond, Virginia.

Drawing on his prior professional background in software product management and business process improvement, Barrett helped launch the Y Combinator-backed startup to automate the traditionally manual tenant leasing process. In his current executive capacity, he actively collaborates with software developers to engineer new platform features while conducting direct operational research with landlords, property managers, tenants, and strategic industry partners. Barrett's primary professional focus centers on scaling B2B SaaS solutions that streamline lead scheduling, tenant screening, and property management workflows across the broader PropTech sector.
