    In episode 1 of the new series Laura Boyd speaks with Mark Taylor, Founder and CEO of Automated Analytics, a technology business helping organisations around the world unlock the power of Artificial Intelligence. Mark talks openly about the moments that shaped his entrepreneurial mindset, from early challenges that sparked his determination to the pivotal decisions that defined his leadership style.

    He shares how a conversation on a cruise ship inspired him to walk away from a secure role and build a business that now supports global brands including British Gas and Pizza Hut.

    Mark also reflects on the evolution of Automated Analytics, from its early focus on bespoke corporate solutions to rapid growth in the US. He talks about the importance of doing what you love, and how curiosity and resilience continue to drive him forward.

    With a background in digital marketing, Mark has worked with some of the UK’s best-known brands, including Virgin Active, Hilton Hotels, Esporta and Halfords.

    This is an honest conversation about risk-taking, building a business with purpose, and how AI can make a meaningful difference when combined with human insight and passion.
