2024 has been a period of Good, significant growth for Celerway Communication. We accomplished so much as a team and laid strong foundations to serve as a springboard for a Great 2025, which we know will benefit the fabulous partner community we have built.   With a focus on local execution, we expanded our presence in the U.S. market by bringing on two highly talented hires in Brian Courtois and Wael Zayed. The USA team have already significantly accelerated our business development and sales execution engine, leading to key engagements and wins with strategic partners delivering unsurpassed attach rates via our outcome based solutions, with BlueStar US as our primary distributor …. 2025 cannot come fast enough for the Celerway family 😊   Building upon our maritime successes, Vincent Dcruz has been the driving force behind securing Etisalat as a partner in the Middle East region. This partnership will not only bring significant advantages to Etisalat's maritime operations, but also cross industry, spanning all their regions in 2025 as we grow our presence with the leading carrier in the Middle East. In 2024, we also signed significant global VAR partnerships with HP, Tata Communications , Birlasoft , Network Innovations & Accenture to name but a handful, all via a 2 tier go to market strategy with BlueStar EMEA, augmenting the distributor partnership we signed with BlueStar US . This achievement reflects the focus, leadership & dedication of our entire sales team.    Furthermore, having accelerated our technology partnerships with iONLINE - Smart IoT connectivity done right and Zebra Technologies, we signed a sizzling cybersecurity mobile edge technology partnership with Fortinet, enabling zero trust at the enterprise beyond the 4 walls …. at the point of activity.   These global partnerships will not only give Celerway strong high-digit growth in 2025, but most importantly give our Partner Select community strong growth as well as a strong TCV attach rate , with a suite of outcome-based edge solutions that will differentiate them in the enterprise from their competition. Our partners will truly be able to address their clients delivering sub 12 month ROI proposals , via a subscription service that give the enterprise what THEY want and what’s important to THEIR business.   There are so many other positives I could call out to 2024: your partnership has been fundamental to our success, but securing not one but FOUR ISO certifications, together with continual optimization of our internal processes led by our COO Marianne Styrman, represents a huge set of milestones in our 2024 progress…. Marianne was an inspiring addition to the team by our CEO and founder Audun Fosselie Hansen   As we move out of 2024, I promise you that Celerway will be disciplined, focussed and work proactively to take us all from Good to Great in 2025.   I wish you all a fabulous close to 2024 and raise a glass to our collective health, success, and happiness in 2025.

It was fantastic to attend this event last week and meet some of the other B Corp accredited companies in the Benelux region. 💛 The afternoon was insightful and super relevant to us BCORP newbies at yellow.global | B Corp . Some great topics were shared, and I especially liked the presentation on the 7th Generation Principle, which talked about legacy and context. I love this idea that each decision we make should consider the impact in 7 generations' time. In the labs, we had the chance to discuss how to engage employees on sustainability as well as wellness successfully. My key takeaways were : 😊 Using data with empathy, i.e humanise it, will have the greatest impact on employee wellness 😊 Sitting with a problem or issue a little longer to understand the pain points might be more impactful than rushing to solutions. 😊 "Fixing" the employee isn't always the answer; focusing on what the company can change internally might unlock more possibilities. 😊 If 93% of change management programs fail- what can we do differently? I am excited to take some of these provocations to our upcoming 2025 projects.

Great session yesterday to a full house at CommerceNext. Thanks to everyone who came. And a special thanks to Allyson Piatt for sharing your insights.

Research shows that GenZ looks for premium experiences for their age group when making purchase decisions. 2. Premium experiences catalyze loyalty. GenZ says they show the brand values and appreciate their business which encourages future engagement. 3. Make premium experiences matter with identity verification. Not only does this protect margins, it solidifies the authenticity of the offer.
