James McKee currently serves as an Independent Director of KPET Ultra Paceline Corporation, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 29, 2025, which priced a $200 million IPO. He was appointed to the board on March 30, 2026, alongside fellow directors Kneeland Youngblood and Kathleen Philips. The SPAC is led by Chairman and CEO Karl Peterson and President, CFO, and Director Eduardo Tamraz, and is headquartered at 5109 South Broadband Lane, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. McKee's role on the KPET board draws on his extensive background as an entrepreneur, technology executive, and venture capital investor.
McKee is the Co-Founder and General Partner of Kubera Venture Capital, a position he has held since 2019, where the firm invests in entrepreneurs leveraging technology. He is also the Founder and CEO of M9 Solutions, which he established in 2007 with the vision of building a digital transformation and government consulting firm. Under his leadership, M9 has grown into a leading mid-size consulting firm serving government agencies. Prior to founding M9, McKee oversaw the North American consulting business for Oracle Corporation and previously held leadership roles in business development and operations at ServiceSource, Scient Corporation, and Renaissance Worldwide, where he served as Executive Vice President. He brings over two decades of experience in the software and ERP consulting business to his current roles.
McKee attended East Carolina University and is based in Denver, Colorado, where he is an active outdoor enthusiast enjoying golf, tennis, skiing in Vail, and fly fishing. His career trajectory from large enterprise consulting leadership at Oracle to founding his own firm and then moving into venture capital demonstrates a consistent focus on technology-driven business transformation. His appointment to the KPET Ultra Paceline board reflects the SPAC's effort to assemble directors with deep operational and investment experience in technology and digital transformation sectors. The SPAC's IPO was one of 62 SPAC deals recorded year-to-date in 2026 at the time of pricing, with the offering expected to close in April of that year.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002117804 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
