Q&A with Executive Chairman Rob May
What lies behind ramsac’s lightning headcount growth?
Two main factors: i) Creating the ramsac academy to have a constant focus on investing in and developing our people. ii) Launching ramsac-x to grow and develop new services and solutions (that was the birth of the hugely successful cybersecurity part of the business and latterly our AI services).
What do you see as your biggest growth opportunity for the next 12 months?
Firstly, helping organisations that want to harness AI properly and securely. Secondly, I predict there will be a lot of clean-up work in the Channel as people rush to rollout AI without understanding the risks and the ramifications. My book Harnessing AI talks about the need to do this strategically but many won’t and that will be generating a lot of future sector expertise.
What’s a strange or interesting fact about ramsac most people won’t know?
We launched in the same year that Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (1991) and our first email addresses we used were on CompuServe accounts!
