CEO MONTHLY / AUGUST 2025 14 Driving improved business performance through the power of cloud-based contract management solutions, Audet Magna recognises that agreements are the driving force behind operational success – particularly in today’s interconnected environments – and therefore strives to help its clients make the most out of them. The company’s mission to be the best in the world when it comes to organisational transformation through contract management technology is something wholly embodied by its CEO, Nick Vat. When Nick Vat co-founded Audet Magna, the company which he is also the CEO of, back in 2018, his mission was to help organisations recognise the endless stream of benefits that come from integrating agreement cloud technologies into their operations. More than seven years later, Audet Magna is a leading specialist in DocuSign solutions for DocuSign customers all over the world, and Nick has been recognised as the Most Influential CEO 2025 – Contract Management Technology (UK). Working as both a lecturer in information systems at Rhodes University in South Africa and as a self-employed strategy consultant and change manager building businesses across both the public and private sectors before starting his journey with Audet Magna, Mark’s diverse experiences in this space have proven instrumental in his success. This is not only the case regarding his expertise and knowledge, but also the skills it takes to be a leader, such as building a vision, nurturing growth, and ensuring teams are aligned. In the case of Audet Magna, everyone works towards answering the same question for their clients: “How can eSignature, contract lifecycle management (CLM), and contract analytics tools help us uncover the hidden games in our contracts and contracting processes?” The same can also be said of the inevitable followup: “How much revenue growth, cost and risk reduction, and increased customer/supplier satisfaction can we realise?” By deploying a robust approach across every stage of the process – from strategy to delivery – Audet Magna helps its clients benefit from these solutions by leveraging a customer-centric nature, both as an organisation and in the way it delivers these transformations. Nick and the team have seen first-hand that the best changes only come about when companies possess a crystal-clear understanding of what truly matters, and that is why they offer everything from professional services to products, packages, and prebuilt solutions. Over the past seven years or so, Nick and co. have helped many organisations to improve their operations through the use of these DocuSign and CLM solutions, with success stories stemming from the likes of an oil and gas supermajor, one of the largest consumer goods companies on the planet, and a global computer/online gaming company. This is not to say that these solutions are exclusively for bigger organisations, as plenty of SMEs have also benefited from the tailored approach Audet Magna is renowned for. Widely seen to be ‘leading the way’ as a result of its work with these clients, just one example of the fantastic work Audet Magna is doing was seen a little over two years ago in early 2023, when it orchestrated a world-first project in this space. Going from kick-off to user go-live in just five days, this full DocuSign CLM design was made possible via the company’s FlowSymmetry Configurator, a suite of out-of-the-box configurations and a workflow framework built entirely on the DocuSign foundation. Audet Magna’s proficiency with the DocuSign system is reflected through it being one of the brand’s Platinum Partners, which sits right alongside its 96% customer advocacy score on the list of its distinguishing factors. Nick himself is another such factor, and his hands-on involvement in every level of the company – from supporting recruitment to partaking in key events across the UK and beyond that Audet Magna is sponsoring or featured at – has helped Audet Magna establish itself as a human-led, peoplefirst operation. Reaching for the sky so that its clients may do the same, Audet Magna is certainly Nick’s crowning achievement and an incredible source of pride for partner DocuSign. Be it through the holistic approach it takes to maximising value, the streak of innovation seen in it turning a project around in just five days, or its pursuit of perfection in the ever-evolving field of contract management technology, Audet Magna is changing the game. Named in this feature as the Most Influential CEO 2025 – Contract Management Technology (UK), Nick Vat’s influence can not only be felt across Audet Magna, but also throughout the CLM industry as a whole. More information about the fantastic work he and the team do can be found on the company’s website, the link to which is listed below.
