Founder Story
Meet Justin Taylor
Connecting technology expertise with commercial success
With 25+ years' experience, Justin has built, sold and commercialised technology across start-ups, growth businesses and large enterprises.
At Saatchi & Saatchi, he led digital campaigns and product launches. He later led sales at Sage Timesheets, helping grow the product from an early-stage offering into an established enterprise solution, and at Capita, he helped develop and apply AI technology to real business challenges.
That experience gives Justin a clear understanding of what it takes to turn technology into something customers understand, want and ultimately pay for.
