Tim WeilFounder

I have been the CEO of a wide variety of deep tech / technology-led businesses for over 20 years. This has also covered start-ups through to SME's of 1000 employees, many being VC or PE backed. Throughout that time, I have been able to deliver significant shareholder value through leading a combination of product development, organic growth, international expansion, acquisitions and joint ventures, business restructurings and operational improvements . This has enabled successful exits, including the leading of a trade sale and a management buy out.
Prior to this, I have had experience in a variety of disciplines including sales, market strategy, operations and business development, working for a number of blue chip large international corporations including IBM, American Express and Equifax.
