Welcoming a new TechMarketView era

This summer marks a year since TechMarketView Founders Richard Holway and Anthony Miller hung up their boots and passed the baton on to the MBO leadership team. The move, 16 years after TechMarketView was founded, marked a major milestone for the company.

For the last year, TechMarketView’s Partner team, consisting of Tola Sargeant, Georgina O’Toole, Deb Seth, and Kate Hanaghan, have focused on continuing to deliver exceptional research and analysis on the UK tech market to our clients, while consistently pursuing excellence.

As we move forwards, you will see some changes. Firstly, Tola has taken the decision to leave TechMarketView to seek a fresh challenge, after 16 years with the company (seven of those as Managing Director/CEO). During that time, Tola has shown immense loyalty and dedication to the company. Her deep understanding of the business has been a hugely valuable asset. Bringing such experience and knowledge, Tola has helped in shaping our company's path. Everyone at TechMarketView would like to take the opportunity to thank Tola for her contribution over many years.

Looking ahead, Deb, Georgina, and Kate will accelerate progress with a newly refreshed growth strategy. Deb will take on the role of Managing Partner, concentrating on driving business growth, enhancing key operational functions, expanding partner networks, and implementing strategic talent acquisition. Georgina will remain as Chief Analyst, continuing to develop thought leadership and client excellence within the organisation, while also orchestrating the execution of TechMarketView’s growth strategy. And Kate will remain Chief Research Officer, responsible for advancing TechMarketView’s research agenda, ensuring our analysis supports our clients to make smart decisions, and running our expert analyst team. Between them, Deb, Georgina, and Kate bring a wealth of experience in the UK tech industry (90 years in fact!) and have sat on TechMarketView’s management board since 2017.

Senior Research Directors, Marc Hardwick and Dale Peters, having been promoted to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) (see Techmarketview announces senior leadership team), will continue to develop and lead a range of programmes and projects supporting richer analysis and enhanced customer experience.

Tania Wilson will become Finance Director (FD) and join Deb, Georgina and Kate on the Management Team. Tania joined TechMarketView in 2019. She brings a wealth of experience in financial analysis and valuation, having spent many years as a Director at PwC. Tania is also an investment principal and CFO for a venture capital firm. Her input will be invaluable as we make important investment decisions aimed at supporting our soon-to-be-revealed new strategy.

We are excited to officially ‘relaunch’ TechMarketView at our annual event on 26th September (please come and join us: TICKETS). The event will serve as the platform for introducing our new strategy through insightful presentations and a fireside chat with an end user organisation in pharmaceuticals. We will also reveal a brand-new strategic partnership, allowing us to showcase a fresh proposition for our clients, as well as reveal results from our new Tech Confidence Index.

We’ve got some fun ideas bubbling about how we can celebrate this new TechMarketView era with our guests, so don’t miss out!
