Scaling a European AI pioneer
with DeepL’s David Parry-Jones

The Brands Transforming Our World podcast

Welcome to the second episode of our recently launched podcast series, “Brands Transforming Our World“, where we give a platform for the tech C-Suite to tell their stories.

In episode two, our Co-Founder, Giles Fraser, and former BBC Tech Correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, sit down with David Parry-Jones, Chief Revenue Officer at DeepL, global leader in language AI. David’s played a critical role in the success of some of the biggest names in tech, including Microsoft, Twilio and VMware. At DeepL, he’s in charge of rapidly accelerating the growth of a genuine AI pioneer.

In this episode, David talks candidly about:

• How an AI scale-up is triumphing against the global tech behemoths
• When he really struggled in a role where he just didn’t fit, and how it made him a stronger leader
• The challenges in building tech firms in the UK
• How he’s had to learn to bring data into his decision-making
• The need – and the benefit – for brands who enable employees to be themselves

Each month, Giles Fraser and Rory will quiz a different tech industry leader. We’ll be hearing their personal stories, what it takes to run the world’s most innovative companies, and how these brands are transforming our world.
