Jay Bregman at SPEAKERS for BUSINESS

Jay Bregman

Mind candy for fast-growth businesses

Overview

“It’s true that you can boil a good business down to one simple idea, but what’s much more important is execution, and that means getting top people involved early.”

Jay was recently listed by The Times as one of the 100 people to watch in 2012. Jay is Founder and CEO of Hailo, an app which makes people's lives easier and may prevent London's iconic Hackney carriage taxis from being driven off the road by the rise of the minicab. Jay's vision allows black cabs in London (and soon in Dublin too) to be booked via smartphone and lets cabbies know where passengers are waiting and where the road works are.

Expect one great idea after another as entrepreneur Jay Bregman explains how he grew his first company eCourier into a £6m-turnover company from scratch in just four years. eCourier uses advanced tracking systems to make optimal use of its distinctive purple vans and motorbikes. As a result, it achieves relatively high margins in what is otherwise an “antiquated” industry. With his business still young and dynamic, Jay can talk authoritatively on topics such as how to: manage during periods of fast growth and recession; build your brand; and use technology to make traditional industries scalable and sexy. With his energy and enthusiasm, he can also shock audiences into action, making them desperate to bring their own ideas to life.

Using the practical stories of eCourier and Hailo Jay is able to speak informatively on a range of topics including;

Technology
Entrepreneurship
Marketing
Building a brand
Challenges of running a high growth company through a recession
