Carrie Osman
Founder & CEO of Cruxy & Company
Carrie Osman Relentless energy & fierce provocation are what Carrie is know for in the worlds of Tech & FinTech. This is the ethos that imbues CRUXY&CO, of which Carrie is founder & Chief Provocateur. Fearlessness when it comes to saying the unsayable, a razor-sharp tongue & electric spark mean Carrie makes an unforgettable contribution speaking at events. She was included in Tech World’s 2017 List of women to speak at Tech Events, was a commentator BBC Business News (http://bit.ly/2tNbIlX), & has featured on panels for ING Bank, Association of Foreign Banks & Forward Women (Guardian). Running a portfolio of £300m & 12 brands, 7 years into Mars Inc, Carrie noticed a void. The consultancies provided the quantitative rigour, the marketing agencies offered the creative flare. True growth & traction demands both. CRUXY & CO was created with a mission to bridge this chasm & forge a creative approach to growth strategy. The complex, the intricate & technical FinTech & Tech industry is where Cruxy’s agitation & market strategy is deployed. No change takes place without challenge, & results from the 40+ clients Cruxy has worked with include: A payments firm sold to Barclaycard A retail tech business that shifted win rate from 30% to 80% An Infrastructure consultancy sold 10% of the business for £15m based on their positioning & ethos Carrie actively contributes her punchy opinion and mentors whenever she can at a number of accelerators such as Cocoon networks, XN tree at Level39 and the charity Bathroom to Boardroom. She is also on the Advisory Board of a Courtside Ventures backed Silicon Valley AI platform, a gold member of Fintech Circle and has judged both firms applying for FTC funding and coached at Angel Academy. Theadvice Carrie offers is valuable & actionable which means you don’t have to deploy McKinsey: guidance that shifts results in reality, not in your head. Suzanne Chishti, CEO & Founder of FINTECH Circle, Mark Beeston Founder of Illuminate Financial & Ian Hollowbread at ING Bank all talk of Carrie as an unknown force to be reckoned with. In rebellion against the staid & numbingly dull industry networking events, Carrie founded Currency of Connections: a handpicked founder & funder only drink series injected with true vitality & establishing real business-karma. She is known as a connector who always pays it forward, you just wait.
