Building: Synthesized 👷🏻♂️🚀
Today is my first day aboard the stellar team at Synthesized as EMEA & APJ Director to spearhead sales and partnerships across the region and build upon the incredible foundations that have already been laid 🚀
The opportunity is massive 💥
There are over 27 Million Developers in the world, and most struggle with DATA 👨🏻💻
It’s also clear across the world that there’s an ever growing demand for automation, cost savings, an increasing focus on data privacy/compliance, and acceleration to integrate modern technologies such as AI and ML 👀
Synthesized populates development environments with production-like data. It programmatically generates the right-sized data for development and testing of software applications, including ML-based applications. It offers considerable value to companies by automating the entire process of data provisioning for application development and testing:
✅ Driving a 70%+ improvement in the speed of application delivery
✅ Saving over 80% in costs per initiative through automation
✅ Ensuring data compliance
Heavyweights like UBS and Deutsche Bank have recently invested in us and we have pioneering work with an impressive and growing customer and partner base 💪🏼
It really is ALL SYSTEMS GO this week 👨🏻🚀
Today, we just moved into some pretty cool new offices over at Fora Montacute Yards in trendy Shoreditch with awesome views of the City 🍾
And we also just released an exciting new GenAI product to help developers with their automated data provisioning and synthetic data needs 🥳
When I first briefly met Nicolai during my time at Surfly ⏪
I thought he’d be a great founder to one day work with, lots of energy (takes one to know one!), great mentor material who is both technically and commercially astute 👊🏼
Then I met Sarah, Margarita, Eesha, Daniel, Jacob, Denis, Simon, Niall, Hamish, Eesha, Alex and it was clear that this is a world-class and delightful team that will make work fun, interesting and rewarding 🙌🏼
Cannot wait to meet everyone else and keep building on the MAGIC together 🪄
Finally a BIG shout out to Yago and the good people from Mundi Ventures (investor in Surfly who is also an investor in Synthesized!) who I am thankful to for bringing us together 🙏🏼
A busy and fun May is planned:
🇬🇧 This week is London for onboarding, customer and partner meetings
🇪🇸 Next week is Madrid for the Mundi Ventures Global Insurtech Forum
🇳🇱 Week after is “The Rise of AI in Insurance” over at NN Group in Den Haag (look forward to catching up @venesha!)
🇫🇷 And to top it off, Paris between 20th-24th for VivaTech where we have been invited to be part of the Microsoft booth
If any of my network is keen to catch up in any of those cities then drop me a DM and it would be a pleasure to catch up 📨
For now, time to get to know my new colleagues, get my sleeves rolled up and get the builder hat on again 👷🏻♂️
