CEO at Jadu - on a mission to create the worlds most accessible digital platform and transform public services to make them open to everyone.
We started Jadu on November 26th, twenty-three years ago, today. I remember the day I made the decision. I remember the day I left my well paid job as a web developer. I remember the first day, the first code push, the first customer, the first hire (still here!), the first office (a derelict, haunted building), the first RFP, the first ‘big’ contract, the first digital service, the first award, the first 1m in revenue. I remember the first form, the first payment, the first booking a customer deployed, and then the first transactions. I remember our first CRM customer (and they are returning!), I remember the first day of literally, everything. 🌟 I am grateful for every member of our team, our partners, and of course our amazing customers who have been part of this journey. 🌟 None of that experience has prepared me for the next stage in our evolution story. Every day there is a decision, never made before. This time though, I have a team to share in those first steps into the unknown and - I is We. Our strength, passion, determination and fanatical mission to become ‘the worlds most accessible digital platform’ - all that comes from 23 years of this team. Here's to the next chapter in Jadu's story. At 23, we’re growing and growing-up. Here's to continuing to innovate, inspire, and lead in accessible digital self-service. 🚀 Happy birthday, Jadu. #digital #DigitalInnovation #Teamwork #BusinessGrowth #govtech #edtech #jadu #localgov #highered #selfservice
As we close out the working week following Thanksgiving, we reflect as it’s coming up to our 23rd birthday on Sunday 🎂! What an adventure it has been and continues to be 🚀. This year has been so exciting here at Jadu, and we’re looking forward to the next year and what’s to come as we continue on our growth journey ✨. Thank you to all of our customers, partners, and team who have and continue to support us 🎉! #HappyBirthdayJadu #JaduTeam #BusinessGrowth #Growth #JoinJadu #Culture #GlobalTeam
