Skilled in business relations, digital marketing, sales process management, event organising, partnership development as well as customer support, I’ve been lucky enough to experience I wide range of operations within a fast-moving startup.

I founded my business on one transformative idea: The future belongs to software businesses that create products worth making a remark about. I believe something is broken around the way we view success. Too many software companies define their success by their size and quarterly growth figures. I believe success should be about the difference we help our customers create, and what we help them become as a consequence. Once that’s firmly in place customers turn into advocates and with that success follows, in volumes we couldn't have imagined upfront.

I have worked in the publishing industry for 8 years in academic journals and corporate publications, developing expertise across a variety of subjects from print logistics to content marketing. Please get in touch with any questions and I hope to be able to help you develop a successful Zapnito community.

Hi, I’m Charles Thiede, CEO & Cofounder at Zapnito. We help businesses power Community-Led Growth by developing our methodology and giving our customers the tools they need to get the most out of their platform. My background is in Healthcare Financial Services, Business Information & Product Development. Looking forward to connecting with you.

My career mission is to create greater respect, trust and kindness within organisations by helping people understand themselves and each other. For over 20 years, I have worked with employee and leader attitudes and opinions. Using a range of feedback and workshop techniques, I model quality feedback and group discussion processes. And by using simple and explicit frameworks, I help leaders develop a shared understanding of culture and adopt practical ways of improving it.

I've worked in marketing and communications for over a decade, with experience in the charity sector, STM publishing, and agency-side for a variety of clients. In that time I've done everything from brand development to media relations. But my real passion is for all things digital, particularly content marketing and social media. Love: strategy, plain English, tea. Hate: corporate jargon.

Hi, I’m Jon Beer, COO and Co-Founder at Zapnito.

Let’s connect!

I've worked in B2B marketing for 6 years now, across corporate events and professional services. I love digital marketing and analytics, and finding ways to make B2B as exciting as B2C.

My academic roots are in economics and mathematics and my professional roots are in financial analysis. My background has given me a wealth of experience in research, data interpretation and analysis. I have a close attention to detail, innate curiosity and ‘big picture’ awareness that I use to support the rest of the Zapnito team in truly understanding our customers' businesses. My aim is to ensure that both they and we succeed.
