Hi I'm Tom Tracey
A data-driven sales professional with a passion for high-growth technology businesses, disrupting the supply chain space.
Professional Background
I found a passion for supply chain when I began moving things around the world when I joined world-renowned Clarksons Platou HQ in London as a shipbroker. I quickly learned about the complexities of global trade. It became clear that there were tonnes of inefficient, archaic and paper-heavy processes in the industry. This was a problem area I was very interested in and I’ve worked at 2 start ups since then that have disrupted this space. At Zencargo we were a team of 15 people and I was the second person to join the sales team. I worked closely with the founders to grow revenue for the business. Over the years, we have grown from 1 million to 25 million ARR, we brought on over 150 clients, grown the team to over 200 people, developed a robust go-to-market account-based strategy and won lots of awards along the way. I currently report into Dmitri, the co-founder at Beacon. I’m responsible for growing revenue of our supply chain software solution. I’m product champion and represent sales in the product meetings to help bridge the gap between what we hear from our customer and what we need to build. Notable achievements include closing the first software only deal at the business and building a book of business worth over £500,000 per month.
Get To Know Me
I was born and raised in Stockholm but I have lived in London for 23 years now and I’m probably the most English sounding Swedish person you will meet! In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf, reading, cooking and watching movies. I’m a big Reading football club supporter and generally love sports of all kinds. I love to spend my days off travelling and exploring outside. Get me to the mountains, beach or forrest, thats where I do my best thinking!
