Team Velocity is a company that is transforming the automotive industry with technology that digitizes the car buying and vehicle ownership processes. Pulse 2.0 interviewed Team Velocity CEO and founder David Boice to learn more about the company. David Boice’s Background David Boice What is David Boice’s background? Boice said: “I’ve been an entrepreneur from an early age. Like most 22-year-olds after college, I was young, hungry, and excited to begin my career. I had grand plans of moving to Chicago and working in the booming pharmaceutical sales industry. But, life is unexpected and doesn’t always go as planned – at the last minute, the job fell through and I needed to quickly pivot. I scoured the newspaper classifieds looking for other types of sales jobs and was told that my personality test results indicated I wouldn’t succeed in sales. After many failed interviews, I was left with one last option. On a cold Friday night in January 1987, I found myself walking into a car dealership for the first time.” “The company I worked for partnered with dealerships to sell exciting aftermarket products like rust-proofing and paint sealant to customers who had just purchased a car. I had […]

Sponsored by Partner Content That was a key theme of a conversation between Simo Mkhize, Chief Commercial Officer at Telkom , and Scott Bicheno, Editor of Telcoms.com, during Huawei’s recent Operations Transformation Forum (OTF) 2024 event in Istanbul, Turkyie. Digital transformation was a major topic at OTF2024 – and especially digital transformation’s role in helping telcos achieve intelligent operations in the near future. To understand the value of digital transformation to Telkom, it’s first important to understand the telco’s context. Telkom is the third-largest operator in the highly competitive South African market, with more than 20 million customers across its prepaid and postpaid mobile services, plus its fixed network broadband services. “We are a strong market leader in broadband services in the market through our fixed wireless access offerings, which are very competitive and provide good value for money to our customers,” Mkhize said. Despite that leadership position in broadband and the growth of its mobile offerings, Telkom faces stiff competition on both fronts from several other providers. South Africa is the world’s 23rd largest country by population, with more than 63 million people as of earlier this year. Mkhizenoted that Telkom is one of five strong players in […]

A conversation with Trade Tech’s Bryn Heimbeck on the challenges and solutions for the “digital transformation” of the logistics sector. 1/0 – Ones and Zeros Bryn Heimbeck, president and co-founder of Trade-Tech, a global logistics platform, is a digital devotee — his vision is to deploy ‘digitalization’ to break down the information silos constricting the logistics industry. And for a proponent like Heimbeck, this ‘digital transformation’ is the logical next step for an industry that has been slow in adopting tech that other industry sectors have readily embraced. As Heimbeck exclaims, “Fintech is flying in an airplane and the rest of us are riding a horse.” To put his remark in perspective, Heimbeck entered the logistics industry at the ‘horse and buggy’ stage of the industry’s tech evolution. “My first job, I was working for a customs broker here in Seattle [Trade-Tech’s headquarters], typing bills of lading (BOL), and I was terrible at it because we had to use IBM Selectrics [typewriters] and use whiteout [to make corrections], and it was just terrible.” For Heimbeck, who relates “I was always interested in computers” the solution was as simple as ones and zeros — digital BOLs. But in the early […]

241209 Blackline Header CFOs are under greater pressure than ever to provide more strategic direction and help drive efficiency across the business. With existing technology and tools struggling to keep pace with these demands, the urgency for the office of the CFO to transform is growing. But delivering this change is tough – as many as 70% of finance transformations fail, according to Gartner. This is partly because the CFO landscape is getting harder to navigate as the operating backdrop becomes more complex, but also because CFO responsibilities are increasingly expanding. “One of the big challenges for the CFO office is that it has become critical to business transformation, but it is also critical to transform their own function too,” says Jeremy Ung, chief technology officer at BlackLine. “This is the balancing act that’s ongoing for CFOs – while you’re helping the business transform and fund business transformations, you’re also trying to transform your own CFO organisation.” This is challenging for CFOs to manage given the myriad tech systems that are feeding data into the CFO’s office from across the business. These tend to be individual systems that do not communicate with each other. And because those systems have […]
