Sarah Porter, CEO & Founder said “This is a pivotal period for InspiredMinds, our partners and the AI community; we have successfully adapted and navigated through the pandemic challenges connecting thousands of our community and stakeholders digitally. Now, we are looking forward to bringing our face to face events to life from September and deepening our connections across the AI world by building on our digital and community solutions and services.”

She continued “Charlie brings over 20 years of international business and market experience having managed, launched and geo cloned some of the world’s leading international event brands including IFSEC, CPhi, Gastech, World Travel Market and Spring & Autumn Fair. I had the pleasure of working with him at United Business Media and felt he was the obvious choice given our exciting expansion plans and his experience in building and leading first class teams to success.”

Charlie said ”Joining Inspired Minds, especially at this pivotal time is an exciting opportunity; the AI community that we work with are pioneers who are developing solutions across many sectors that are both saving and improving lives globally. I am energized and excited by what lays ahead of us, building InspiredMinds into the world’s largest community of over 1 million of the most powerful people in emerging technology by 2022. “

 

Sarah concluded “As a founder, your products are your babies and when your babies are what are now the world’s leading and largest brands in AI and Health - this is not a small role, we have huge plans and I have unwavering confidence in Charlie to lead the charge on our existing brands alongside the founding team and I.”
