🌟 Speaker Spotlight 🌟 Meet Nicholas Pearce, one of our speakers for November 21st! 👤 Who is Nick? Nick is a pioneer of cloud storage technology, earning the trust of the world's largest broadcasters, banks, telcos, and sports teams to deploy object storage platforms in their video production and archive workflows. As an enthusiast of technology and media workflows, Nick passionately believes that people, community, and partners are essential for successfully scaling a business internationally. He advocates for a purpose and personality driven approach in developing effective go-to-market strategies. Having co-founded Cardiff based Object Matrix, Nick spent the last 20 years building a global network in the Media & Entertainment technology market, gaining expertise in startups, scale-ups, and disruptive technologies. This included developing marketing strategies, sales channels, strategic technology partnerships, and achieving global sales with some of the world's most recognised brands (the NBA, the WRU, CNN, Warner Brothers Discovery, the European Parliament, Deutsche Bank, Orange, France Televisions, BT, and the BBC, to name a few). Following the sale of Object Matrix in January 2023, and his exit from the company in August 2023, Nick founded the Go-To-Market advisory business Scaling With Scarcity. Alongside his career, he has created and produces ‘The Silent Partners’ business podcast and can be found posting pictures of bread and his beagles on Instagram. Nick is also a co-founder of GlobalWelsh, the Workflow Innovation Group and Chepstow Gold Touch Rugby Club. 🗣️ What will Nick be talking about? Building pioneering technology from scratch without engaging with end customers is one way to embark on a 20-year journey to success. The “build it and they will come” approach is risky, often relying heavily on luck. Starting in 2003 and trying to sell an API in 2005 ... you needed more than just luck. We built it, we tried to sell it to anyone who would listen and they didn't come. However, beyond the much needed luck, we adapted, refined, persevered, and focused our efforts to one community, ultimately delivering our API-based object storage platform to some of the world's largest banks, telecom companies, broadcasters, and sports teams.
