About Us - Overview

Paul Haworth - Founder & Managing Director

Paul founded a computing and business intelligence company in 1988 in the UK, successfully building it into multi-million pound business with clients in eight countries and 80 staff. In 2006, Paul sold the UK operation to a NASDAQ listed company. At the time of sale, the business specialised in providing billing analysis products and services to the Telecommunications Industry and has an impressive list of clients including British Telecom, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange, Verizon and 3 across eight countries in Europe and Asia Pacific.

Following the sale of the business, Paul migrated with his wife and two children to Melbourne Australia - setting up Ryder Systems Australia to pursue his lifelong passion for innovative product and services development in the field of business and strategic analytics.

Today, Paul is pursuing his vision to creating and developing innovative analytics software and services that can help businesses to transform data into insights to help them achieve their business objectives and create new markets, opportunities and value.
