“I develop international business development opportunities for C4DI in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary”.
Hey Bob, tell us a bit about yourself and what you do.
I am a SaaS sales specialist with a business development eco-system in Central Europe and Central London.
My proven expertise:
1. Increasing the volume of sales.
2. Improving the profit per sale.
3. Reducing the cost of each sale.
4. Reducing the timeline of each sale.
5. Creating multiple sales per interaction where possible/appropriate.
My active business development network includes:
1. The Northern Powerhouse: Hull, Leeds, Manchester, and Liverpool.
2. The Barclays Eagle Lab network.
3. The Visegrád Group: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.
4. Central London: active member of the Westminster Business Council.
What are your hobbies outside of work?
Surf to a pro-am level, play blues slide guitar, and follow the LA Rams.
Why did you join C4DI?
5next Technologies co-founder Aleksander Góra and I developed a FinTech business development platform.
In December 2022, it was accepted by the prestigious business accelerator HugeTech backed by the Polish stock exchange. We received a €65.000 grant for R&D supported by Samsung.
Being in C4DI ensured access, support and attention we believe would be unavailable if we were part of the London Tech scene.
C4DI is easily accessible from Leeds/Bradford Airport, with direct flights to 11 major central European cities. This met the needs of our talent network requirement.
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself that not many people would know.
I am the father of internationally award-winning musicians James Spence and Eva Korman-Spence.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Peace-making.
