John Rendel
CEO
As a founder, entrepreneur and CEO I've built an $10m, 1000+ employee, international organisation the hard way (by having lots of set backs and turning them into opportunities). I'm now in a great position to help other young/fast grow companies to grow their income and impact by avoiding some of the mistakes I made.
PEAS was recognised as the 'best overall charity' at the UK charity awards 7 years after launch. While it is a Non Profit, it generates £millions from earned revenues and as a result, my experience translates well in commercial settings.
I have 12 years of Board level experience and understand how important it is to have a board which carefully balances support and challenge to help ambition CEOs to achieve their goals.
