42 CEO MONTHLY / GLOBAL CEO EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2019 , Jun19277 A new entrant to the technologymarket, SerTech Exchange is already transforming how great Digital & Tech-enabled businesses are connecting with C-Suite decisionmakers in potential client firms. We caught up with Founder and CEOAndrewMain to find out more about this innovative company. Management Tech CEO of the Year 2019 - UK Established in 2017, SerTech Exchange was created with a primary goal of enabling business leaders to be introduced to great tech and digital businesses that have been screened through the firm’s PWC designed and built SerTech Lab V2.0 screening process. As a result of this process, SerTech Exchange have already developed a portfolio of terrific Digital Partner firms from across the globe with whom they are working closely to accelerate their growth in their chosen markets and geographies. A great example of one such business is EKO which is a terrific digital platform focussed on employees in distributed organisations and provides a game-changing communications and employee engagement platform at a price point that makes it accessible to every single employee. Andrew was the driving force behind SerTech Exchange and he explores how he drew on his previous experience to create this new kind of technology company. “Prior to founding SerTech Exchange, I was the U.K. CEO of a global foodservice company and have sought to draw upon the thirty plus years of leadership experience I’ve had in Industry to shape the types of digitally enabled solutions that we are seeking out from around the world to bring to bear in the Industries that we serve. “In my former role I found it a significant challenge to uncover digital solutions that have a proven record of success in an existing market and that had the potential to scale across a business with operations in multiple countries. SerTech Exchange was founded to address that issue. We now have a portfolio of outstanding digital solutions that all have the potential to scale having first attained significant success in either an adjacent industry or some other geography.” Now working with a wide range of clients from across a range of markets SerTech Exchange relies not only on Andrew’s leadership but also an outstanding team of highly successful executives from across industries and geographies. Andrew is proud of his team and explains how they drive each and every project to success together. “Since our inception, SerTech Exchange has been fortunate to attract a very talented and experienced team, and it is through the collaborative approach we adopt to get the best from everyone that we ensure the service we provide to our clients - new or existing - is to a level where all parties are delighted with the outcomes achieved.” Looking to the future, Andrew foresees significant growth for his dynamic and flourishing company, as he is proud to conclude. “The foundation we have established these past two years has enabled us to hone the business model to a point where we’re now recognised in the tech industry as a terrific channel to market for any digital or tech business with a proven track record of success that is now looking to scale-up with pace across the three major economies in the world. The SerTech Exchange platform enables us to identify the very best Digital firms with whom to partner and to then work collaboratively with them in shaping their go-to-market strategies and to introduce them into our unparalleled professional networks. We are now in the process of assembling a very strong Board of Directors that is drawn from across the three major global economies. Together we are shaping our strategy to optimise the growth opportunities across the world for our Digital Partners.” Company: SerTech Exchange Name: Andrew Main Email: Andrew.main@ sertechexchange.com Address: Vox Studios, V113, 1-45 Durham St, Vauxhall, London Web: www.sertechexchange.com Andrew Main, SerTech Exchange
