Pavlo Phitidis 

Pavlo

As an entrepreneur, Pavlo Phitidis cut his teeth in turnaround companies. Then spent a few years in M&A, which allowed him to conclude 68 transactions before answering a call of duty in a family business, which enabled his parents’ retirement.

Pavlo co-founded Aurik by directly starting, growing and exiting 12 businesses to develop a business growth system, which has worked with upwards of 3,500 established companies in 4 countries.

Pavlo is a passionate advocate for business as a force for good and has brought this to life through more than 1,200 radio segments, two books, Sweat, Scale $ell and Reset, Rebuild, Reignite and hundreds of articles for columns across business and lifestyle titles.

Daily, he works with private business owners, personally and through his company, to resolve growth and value challenges.

Gary Baker

Gary

After 10 years in the legal profession Gary changed direction to spend 17 years running and growing CD (UK) Ltd. Initially working with his father, Gary managed the transition to take over leading the business at the same time as finding a way to release value for his father. Gary then sold CDUK through an MBO process to the company’s Managing Director.

He subsequently started and built several companies across sectors including IT, Finance, Publishing and Digital marketing. For 10 years he ran a financing company that offered bridging and project finance, among other solutions. He spent 2 years in a large corporate, where he was a project manager on a range of FMCG projects.
