James Gulli is an accomplished entrepreneur and driven senior at The Charter School of Wilmington. At 12, he successfully founded his first business Gulli Lawn, a full-service lawn and landscape company during the COVID-19 pandemic. He successfully grew the business and sold it in the fall of 2024. This hands-on experience sparked his passion for entrepreneurship and finance, as he learned to manage and operate a company with employees. James plans to major in finance in college after graduating high school in the spring of 2025.

Throughout his life, James has balanced his business endeavors with a deep commitment to sports, competing in soccer and swimming for both club and high school. These experiences have instilled in him values like integrity, leadership, respect, and hard work—qualities that define who he is today.
