HALL 2<br />
Friday<br />
14.45 - 15.15<br />
XENIOS THRASYVOULOU<br />
How many people are unhappy working for faceless corporations, but do nothing<br />
about it? Xenios saw it as an opportunity to set up his own company.<br />
KEYNOTE<br />
HALL 1<br />
Thursday<br />
15.30 - 16.00<br />
Xenios was initially an engineer working<br />
for a FTSE 100 company, but within six<br />
months, he realised that he was allergic<br />
to the bureaucracy of large corporations.<br />
Inexperienced and utterly unemployable<br />
at the age of 23, he began creating<br />
a service that allowed time-starved<br />
individuals to outsource work to multiskilled<br />
individuals on a ‘per hour’ basis.<br />
Three years later, PeoplePerHour.com<br />
was born.<br />
Responsible for<br />
the overall<br />
vision and direction of PeoplePerHour.com,<br />
Xenios’ passion for product, relentless<br />
pursuit of innovation and deep obsession<br />
for customer service and user experience<br />
are very much defining points of the<br />
company’s culture and ethos. Xenios<br />
holds an MA/MEng from Cambridge<br />
University and attended executive<br />
education at Harvard <strong>Business</strong> School.<br />
Doing More With Less<br />
What does your business need to succeed? This seminar is indispensable for<br />
start-ups, as it explains how to get your business off the ground the lean and<br />
agile way. Xenios Thrasyvoulou, founder and CEO of PeoplePerHour, talks both<br />
from personal experience and that of a community of 450,000 small businesses<br />
that live on PeoplePerHour, on how to harness the power of the crowd to get<br />
more done with less.<br />
