This interview features Binu Jacob, CEO and Co-founder of Experion Technologies, whose leadership blends innovation with enthusiasm and determination. From a career in defense technologies to becoming a global tech leader, Binu’s journey has been charismatic and flexible, firmly anchored on value generation in digital product engineering.
Currently steering Experion into expansion, following its strategic partnership with EQT-supported Indium, Binu uses his diverse range of expertise-from sustainability projects to music and cultural ties-for building strong and meaningful relationships benefiting business success. Based out of the UK, he is equally focusing on the growth of Experion in fintech, automotive, and other fast-growing markets through a marriage of an ever-people-oriented business strategy with innovative solutions.
Imparting great wisdom to the aspiring entrepreneurs, Binu commented, “Keep going regardless, be determined, and think of the impact of your being other than your profit.” It is this philosophy he wishes to see rooted in the very DNA of Experion, which stands for empathy and innovative engineering to change the face of global product engineering.
The greatest distinction between Experion and all others within the industry is a strong culture of client empathy and a unique approach towards digital product engineering. With just 1,500 people, Experion can afford to deliver solutions competitive to those of much bigger counterparts. For example, the charging solution for North America and Canada stands a good chance of being powered by Experion technology, should anyone choose a future electric vehicle from leading automotive brands across the globe.
On the same note, an asset management system developed by Experion has helped maintain infrastructure along the entire length of the 4,505 miles of highway strewn across the United Kingdom. In Australia, the intellectual property developed for an independent software vendor client is acting as the control mechanism for the functioning of 1,800 retail outlets. These achievements not only signal different milestones but also show the sophistication and commitment of Experion’s processes and its commitment to delivering essential products enabling businesses.
Experion’s outlook goes beyond mere technology delivery; it applies a consultative approach using the knowledge gained from many projects to strengthen different solutions across various industries and geographies. This wide array of experiences facilitates the preparation of product roadmaps that typically identify new opportunities for clients to bridge deficiencies in the execution of business. Several clients have changed their initial game plans and discovered new paths because of the robust research and insights provided by Experion.
Also, the co-founders’ participation in every project from the very beginning ensures that solutions are influenced by the company’s core values from conception to execution. This is what sets Experion apart: fostering the client’s revenue growth through a rare fusion of empathy, industry knowledge, and a product engineering approach that is agile, strategic, and immensely impactful.
Experion finds unique opportunities in this market due to London becoming a hub for global financial transactions in the fintech space, which is relevant for the company’s strategic standpoint. It has been a stronghold in Financial Services and has a competent Head in London with an experience of 30 years of experience. Along with the former global COO from Credit Suisse and UBS serving as a providing advisor for insight and connection to real-time market knowledge and outreach for Experion.
The Indium collaboration, a part of the EQT, too, has underpinned its knowledge on Financial Services. Also, the acquisition of Vantage, which is an Australian firm dedicated to credit lifecycle services, concerns them since it is part of a complete solution for credit unions and tier 2/3 banks as processing solutions and, more importantly, ESG initiatives that keep gaining prominence in the UK financial landscape. These will provide a solid platform to position Experion significantly in the financial ecosystem within the United Kingdom.
