Bristol tech startup Deazy appoints new CTO

Deazy, a Bristol tech startup which connects clients with vetted dev teams, has named Marko Ivanovski as its new CTO.

Marko has almost 20 years of B2B software experience, working in the UK, Australian and New Zealand markets across industries including financial services, utilities, and health.

In his new role, Marko will be tasked with supporting Deazy’s ongoing targeting of the enterprise market.

He’ll also continue to provide fractional CTO consulting support for another startup.

“Deazy is on the cusp of a major breakthrough and its model is the perfect fit for the enterprise market”, said Marko.

“Enterprises are struggling to find the tech talent with the capacity and capability to help them achieve their goals, and using Deazy is a highly effective way of doing so.

“It’s a great time to join the company, and I'm excited about what can be achieved.”

Deazy works with businesses including the RAC, Popeyes and Fleetcor.

Marko will be responsible for standardising how Deazy operates from a technical perspective and looking at ways that tech can make this more effective and efficient in the future.

He’ll maintain relationships with certain key clients and examine ways in which GenAI can be deployed across the business.

CEO Andy Peddar added: “The role of CTO is pivotal in any organisation, but it’s doubly so for Deazy.

“We must find a way to simultaneously provide our clients with the best possible technology teams and solutions while also ensuring that we’re creating the optimal set of technology products, including our platform, using the right strategic approach that will enable us to scale successfully.

“Marko has already brought an energy and focus to the role and his experience of working with enterprises and startups makes him a fantastic fit.”

This latest appointment follows Deazy’s acquisition of technical assessment provider Geektastic in February.
