9 years ago by

Join Mark Osborne from Roll and Asheel Bharos from Rightway in an evening seminar looking at the systems behind managing your design business.
Mark will talk about transforming your design business with software, moving beyond Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office and the future – where is business software heading?

Mark Osborne, CEO & Founder of Roll
Mark Osborne is now one of the founders of the fast-growing tech startup Roll, but like you, started out running his own creative business at the ripe old age of 19. Since then Mark has had many business successes as well as many tribulations along the way. Some highlights include starting up txt message marketing company Silent Communications in 2006, moving on to setting up the successful digital agency 96black in 2010, who then partnered with Atlantis Healthcare in 2011 to provide innovative digital healthcare solutions in Europe and the UK. Roll is Mark’s biggest achievement to date and is set to now go global and change the way small businesses use and approach their core business software.
