Six Degrees CEO Vince DeLuca
Early in my career, and through perseverance, I took the consumer of a technology product from point-blank not wanting to talk to me to having them want more with high fives and hugs.
Bluecube Managing Director Paul Reames
Going from a performance programme to becoming the number one sales person at Project Telecom consistently in a sales team of more than 100 BDMs. I got a letter from my manager at the time congratulating me on my performance. It’s still framed in my office 25 years later!
Comms365 CEO Mike van Bunnens
Building a successful company and keeping on going at the beginning when it looked like we had bitten off more than we could chew.
Risc IT Solutions and Novem IT CEO Alex Heslip
Bringing people together to serve a common purpose. At Verastar and Project Edge I built strong teams both organically and through acquisition. I believe in openness and honesty; if you’re straight with people you build trust.
n2s CEO Rob Bolton
Being able to interact at all levels of a business and getting the best out of teams.
PXC CEO James Smith
When I made the transition away from my career in investment banking ten years ago to become CFO of one of my clients. Anyone who has made the transition from being an advisor or a consultant to becoming involved in running an actual business will know that it’s followed by a massive dose of ‘real life’ and a steep learning curve.
Agilitas IT Solutions CEO Sara Wilkes
Smashing the glass ceiling. Every career move I have made has been an achievement.
Focus Group CEO Neil Hall
Staying relevant.
Greg Jones, VP of Business Development EMEA, Kaseya
Seeing the impact I’ve had on others has been amazing. Whether that’s MSPs’ successes or seeing staff growth and progression. I am proud of the 35-plus industry awards I’ve won as they are proof that I am making a difference in the industry. What’s also important to me is my involvement with the Alder Hey children’s charity which raises vital funds for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
Telet Research CCO Dr. Peter Gradwell
The early Gradwell Communications team was forged in the heat of a fast growing startup, all in one room determined to beat the incumbent giants. We are still close knit.
