Guy Armitage
Guy is the CEO of Zealous, an on-line platform matching creative talent with opportunities (such as festivals, prizes, jobs…) by helping creative businesses find the right candidates through simple calls to submissions; cutting down on their administration.
Zealous goes beyond the digital space through Zealous X; an event showcasing 100 artists from across photography, art, film, music and performance in central London, curated solely on www.zealous.co.
Zealous is Guy’s second business, having setup an IT Contracting firm in Cairo; growing it to 25 employees, winning a contract with Google, exiting 3 weeks before the revolution.
With experience at the London Stock Exchange and graduating in Artificial Intelligence, his strengths are diverse, focussing currently on business strategy, streamlining processes, product development, marketing and empowerment using digital tools.
Guy was nominated one of the top ten creative entrepreneurs by the Guardian and won first place at the 2014 Tate Modern Hackathon.
“S4CS provides an important stepping stone lacking in our educational system. Allowing creative individuals to broaden their understanding of business to succeed in their craft.”
