Testimonials
Adam Durant, CEO of SATAVIA, said:
“The Judge Business School Executive Education programme has created a world-leading and unique ecosystem that combines a diverse range of stakeholders in entrepreneurship to deliver practical programmes underpinned by first class research and practitioner insights and experiences. The SATAVIA team were lucky enough to be selected for the Barclays Scale Up programme in 2019, creating opportunities to test new ideas to reach scale with other companies on the same journey, plus a range of world-class mentors who have been there and done it in the past. Following the Scale Up programme, SATAVIA was able to refine and implement a growth plan, raising our first equity financing round as a result. There is so much experience offered by the coaches and faculty! It really helps to have someone to go to if you need a sounding board, or advice from those who have been there and done it before - often making mistakes in the process!
The support offered by CJBS has been incredibly valuable and has shaped the trajectory of the company, creating strong foundations for sustained growth."
