Prof. Joe O'Mahoney, Partner at Equity Sherpa, brings Rob Ferrone to this insight-packed session. Rob co‑founded Quick Release in 2003 with a co‑founder, a laptop, and a little‑known niche: Product Data Management for automotive manufacturers. Over sixteen years, he scaled the firm into a global consultancy of ~200 people across five countries, generating ~£35m in revenue with 20%+ growth and margins, before selling the business to €4bn engineering group ALTEN in 2019.
