Interview with David Byrne
- Tell us a little about Nexora Technologies and how it started.
Nexora was founded out of a simple idea: businesses were drowning in repetitive processes that technology could automate intelligently. My co-founder and I wanted to create solutions that freed people to do more meaningful work. - What has been your biggest break in business so far?
Landing a partnership with one of Europe’s largest banks was huge for us. It validated our product on a major scale and opened doors across multiple sectors. - What’s been the toughest challenge you’ve faced?
Managing rapid growth. When demand exploded, we had to scale our team and infrastructure almost overnight. It tested everything — leadership, culture, and operations. - What do you believe is the single biggest driver of your success?
Relentless curiosity. We constantly ask, “What’s next?” and stay a few steps ahead of the curve. - How would you describe your approach to business philosophy?
Solve real problems. If you're solving genuine pain points for your customers, the rest — sales, loyalty, growth — will follow. - What's one piece of advice you would give to your 25-year-old self?
Don’t rush. Build slow and solid foundations, both in your skills and your business relationships. - How do you keep yourself motivated?
Working with brilliant people. Every day, our team teaches me something new — it’s incredibly energising. - How do you define success today?
It’s less about financials now and more about impact — the impact on our clients, our team, and the industry. - What's the best advice you ever received from a mentor?
"Be bold, but be ready." It’s not enough to take risks — you have to prepare to handle the outcomes, good or bad. - What key habit helps you succeed?
Structured learning. I allocate time every week to study something new — whether it’s a technology, a business model, or a leadership principle. - Who is a business leader you admire, and why?
I have huge respect for Patrick Collison of Stripe. He’s a visionary who built a global giant while keeping innovation and humility at the heart of the business. - How important are networks like Spark Business Network to entrepreneurs like yourself?
Critical. Trusted networks like Spark give you real connections with people who understand the journey — it’s about knowledge-sharing, not just networking. - In what ways could you help fellow members of Spark Business Network?
I can assist members with advice on digital transformation, AI strategy, and how to effectively scale technology-driven businesses. - In what ways could your fellow members of Spark Business Network help you or your business?
Introductions to business leaders looking to streamline their operations with AI and partnerships for co-innovation projects would be extremely valuable.
