ENTREPRENEUR STORIES

RUMY SANDHU-BOSE

Over the past two decades, Rumy has been a partner in both personal and professional life. She has been the first investor in my companies and been integral to evaluating any business idea from a commercial and risk perspective. She was the first finance director of IntelliSense. io and instrumental in ensuring the processes and commercial principles

of the business were established and implemented. She continues to oversee and support the company through her role as an active board member, investor and supporter. Her current focus is to ensure IntelliSense.io provides its technology for improving the sustainability footprint of our customers and making a positive impact on the planet.

DR STEVE GARNETT

Over the past decade, Steve has been a mentor, investor and guide in my projects. His amazing experience in building Oracle, Siebel and Salesforce has been an inspiration to me while we developed IntelliSense.io from the ground up. He has been a lead investor as we moved the company across the different stages of our evolution.

Steve has shaped our company’s direction and as chairman of the board has consistently guided me with sage advice and interventions at appropriate times to ensure our company and team fulfil their potential. His philanthropic activities are an inspiration to me and have shaped some of my interests in this area.

NICK OWEN

During my professional career at Deloitte Consulting and then starting my first entrepreneurial venture, Nick was pivotal in mentoring and providing guidance as I transitioned from learning my craft in a big organisation to starting my own venture. Nick’s

guidance was indispensable through this transition, as an advisor and early investor in my venture. Over the past few years he has been an independent observer and a sounding board as IntelliSense.io has grown and navigated through choppy waters.
