About Nigel Bridges

I am a tech-sector executive and entrepreneur with more years of experience than I care to count. It includes significant UK and international roles in managerial and executive 'C' suite positions for larger corporates and smaller SME's. After 15 years in management consultancy and then large P/L management I have been focusing on founding and scaling smaller tech companies for the last 15 years; which is far harder and a lot more fun!My current adventure is the co-founding of Beacon (an award-winning AI-based SaaS product company delivering step-change improvements in online advertising) and then the pivot to Veracity Trust Network (an award-winning AI-based SaaS product company delivering website bot protection solutions to enterprise and SME organisations in the regulated, non-regulated, government and third sectors). As well as CEO of Beacon/Veracity I also hold a number of other business interests including board advisory and NED positions and charity trusteeships.Click the link below to schedule a call with me if you'd like to catch up. https://calendly.com/nigel-bridges

Nigel Bridges Work Experience Details
  • Veracity Trust Network
    Ceo
    Veracity Trust Network Oct 2017 - Present
    Gb
    Veracity Trust Network safeguards organisations from the threat of bot attacks, through its deep tech machine-learning solutions which address Security, Fraud and Ad Tech. The VERACITY Website Threat Protection platform (WTP) protects any website from automated attacks to safeguard online revenue, competitive edge, brand reputation and customer relationships. We enable organisations to gain visibility and control over human, good bot, and bad bot traffic without imposing friction on legitimate users. This technology is based on our proven VERACITY Ad Fraud Prevention solution (AFP), which helps marketing agencies and brands reduce waste in their digital advertising spend and keep bot data out of marketing decisions. Harmful bots are also using ad networks to circumvent the 'usual' bot detection mechanisms; pairing AFP with WTP shuts down that exposure risk.
