Issue 1 2019

2 CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 1 2019 Welcome to the first issue of CEO Monthly for 2019. Everymonth we endeavour to provide our readers with the latest news and updates fromall corners of the business world. As we move into this new year, many businesses are taking the opportunity to reinvigorate their operations, finding inspiration in emerging trends and technologies. As such, this month, CEOMonthly has taken a look at companies who have chosen to do things differently than their peers and competitors, whether that be through spotting new market opportunities, hiring out-of-the-box talent, or utilising emerging technology to gain an advantage. Since 2017, Redwood Bank has distinguished itself through a commitment to combining traditional client-centric values with a cutting-edge, future-proof business foundation. We spoke with the bank’s CEO, Gary Wilkinson, to find out more about his plans for Redwood’s future. In recent news, one of the world’s leaders in technology skills solutions, Global Knowledge, announced that Pramod Bhasin – founder and former CEO and President of Genpact – has joined its board of directors. As a pioneer of the BPM industry in India, Global Knowledge hopes to harness Pramod’s undisputed expertise to drive growth in 2019. Elsewhere in the issue, Simon Dutton, CEO at Paritor Ltd, offers a look at today’s music industry and how it is adapting to a greater need for accessibility to the UK’s student population. Finally, the team here at CEOMonthly hope you enjoy this month’s issue and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
