A partnership and mentoring scheme which pairs young tech businesses with senior executives in the West Midlands has returned for a new round. Seven senior leaders from financial, legal and property firms in the region are offering 42 hours of one-on-one support to up-and-coming tech firms.
The 'Connector Series' is run by SuperTech, a body dedicated to the greater adoption of technology by professional and business services companies, and is supported by BNP Paribas Personal Finance, Wesleyan, Bruntwood SciTech, Shoosmiths and Barclays. It first ran last year and has been expanded for 2022 to include executives from Unity Trust Bank and Paragon on the roster of mentors.
The full list of leaders taking part is David Stewart, group chief operating officer at Wesleyan; Pam Rowland, chief operating officer at Paragon Banking Group; Mark Clayton, chief operating officer at Unity Trust Bank and Andrea Tittel, director of innovation, customer and propositions at BNP Paribas Personal Finance.
