Aled is an experienced technology leader and has over 20 years of experience of working in a number of startups and rapid growth organisations, scaling networks and platforms to deal with millions of subscribers. Most recently Aled was one of the founding members of a specialist technical consultancy, Siphon Networks (now part of the Nuvias Group) supporting service providers in designing and scaling platforms from SME through to global communications operators. He helped lead the organisation to become a disruptive force EMEA-wide, winning several awards and making the Deloitte Tech Fast 50 3 years running. His move from cutting edge telecommunications into financial technology is a natural step – moving from one regulated market to another and brings with him a wealth of experience in critical systems and integration. Aled’s speciality is in leadership of technical teams and scaling services and platforms to support rapidly growing companies like GrowthInvest.
Aled spends much of his spare time supporting local charities both as a trustee and as an active volunteer. Aled has spent the last 15 years working with St John Ambulance Cymru where he is an ambulance medic regularly providing medical support to the emergency services and at events as well as being a trained Tactical Commander. He is also a trainer and assessor for St John. He was recently awarded the honour of membership of the Order of St John for his services to the charity and received a commendation for his services during the COVID pandemic. The little spare time he has left after all that is spent with friends and family, singing with the Cardiff Blues Choir or walking the countryside of South Wales looking for some peace and quiet!
