13 July 2022
The Robot Exchange, the Nottingham-based robotic process automation (RPA) specialist, has announced the appointment of award-winning tech entrepreneur and pioneer, Elizabeth Gooch MBE, as its new chair.
The new role has been created to help the business expand its current offering and support the scaling up and acceleration of the creation and delivery of its innovative RPA solutions in the UK and expanding overseas markets. The specialist tech provider is also targeting extending its offering within financial services, with a particular focus on accelerating automation across the lending community.
Elizabeth Gooch’s technology career began after she pioneered the introduction of production management methodologies into the service sector and used these techniques to develop a software product which delivered guaranteed improvements in customer service and cost reductions for clients. That software is now used in over 50 countries by blue-chip international companies in financial services, utilities, telcos, business process outsourcing and the public sector.
Her career highlights include: The Telegraph's Most Disruptive Entrepreneurs, Finance Monthly CEO Award, PCR's Top 50 Women in Technology, West Midlands Women of the Year Outstanding Contribution to Technology Award. She was awarded the MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2012.
The Robot Exchange, led by CEO Andy Wallace, specialises in developing and deploying robotic process automation (RPA) solutions for SME’s; enabling smaller customers to gain the same process efficiencies and reduced wastage of resource and time previously enjoyed by bigger businesses.
Andy Wallace, CEO at The Robot Exchange, commented:
"This represents a major milestone for The Robot Exchange. We have ambitious plans and attracting someone of Elizabeth’s experience, expertise and character speaks volumes about our drive, ambition and potential. Now that she is on the team, we cannot wait to begin this exciting next step in the journey of The Robot Exchange.”
Speaking about her appointment, Elizabeth Gooch MBE added:
“Staffing and recruitment are massive challenges for SMEs and, at the same time, their processes have often lacked attention, becoming unwieldy and time consuming. The Robot Exchange enables them to reduce the amount of work and resources locked up in manual processes and to leverage the faster roll-out of cloud-based RPA solutions that the major corporations enjoy.
“I am looking forward to working with Andy on scaling his company and accelerating its transition from unassisted to autonomous RPA. It has the potential to become a major enabler for ambitious, forward-thinking organisations in the modern economy and that is an extremely exciting challenge.”
