We are a small, but perfectly formed, team:
Mark Littlewood, CEO

Mark has spent 30 years in the tech sector collecting great people and ideas and connecting them to customers. Before Business of Software, Mark was part of the founding team at Library House, an investment research business based in Cambridge serving the global venture capital & banking communities, & The BLN – a business events company – leading the business development activities for the organisation & built a network of angels, early stage, venture & corporate investors.
Previously, they have worked with university spin-outs, run a 40 person consultancy business, & founded a web portal for the CAD community. Mark has worked in the publishing and information sectors & attended Trinity College, Cambridge. Find them on Twitter at @marklittlewood.
Jo Littlewood, Event Director

Previously Jo spent 25 years working in theatre as a set designer. Somehow Mark managed to persuade her to swap model-making and press nights for bag-stuffing and VAT returns.
Jo hasn’t regretted it.
Jann Urgel-Jao, Chief of Staff

Jann, with seven years’ expertise in sales, marketing, and administration, seamlessly supports Mark in day-to-day operations to enhance workflow efficiency.
Her proven track record and strategic mindset contribute to organizational success, making her an invaluable asset.
