Talk 1: - Jeremy Basset - How data is fuelling the growth of global companies

Jeremy weirdly loves email…even the salesly type. Having spent 14 years at Unilever as a marketing director, and then another 8 years building his own B2B consultancy, he understands what it’s like to be on the receiving and sending ends of cold outreach, and it’s not pretty.

In 2024, together with a team of 8, Jeremy built Super Benji, a specialist AI tool that automates outbound cold email & LinkedIn outreach for B2B businesses. Since launching in Sept 2024, they’ve had 20% month-on-month growth, becoming one of the UK’s fastest growing businesses and rapidly scaling internationally.

Originally Australian, Jeremy’s career has taken him from Australia to New Zealand, Singapore he now resides in the UK. Jeremy has a marketing and commercial background, with a degree in Accounting & Marketing, he’s CPA qualified and has an MBA from London Business School.
