Meet the team

It all started when I was introduced to Sally. We scheduled a virtual coffee chat, and after extending the time twice, we realised we had been talking well beyond our initial slot. Sally's enthusiasm and vision were infectious, and the way she articulated how I could contribute to it all was both motivating and inspiring. It felt like the perfect fit from that moment on.

It’s exciting and dynamic—it definitely keeps me on my toes with the fast pace. The best part is the open environment for idea generation and creative problem-solving. Being part of a startup that’s deeply passionate about its mission and its people makes you truly recognise your value. It highlights the importance of your contributions and the positive impact you can have on clients, the business, and the team around you.

As a newcomer with less than a month under my belt, I’m proud to say I’ve already achieved something meaningful. I’ve worked on creating internal process designs and supporting documents. While that might sound routine to some, I’m incredibly passionate about effective processes. What’s even better is that, in a startup like Evotra, I’ve had the freedom to explore what I love beyond my day-to-day role. The positive feedback I received was incredibly motivating—it’s been fuel to the fire, and I’m excited to keep growing with Evotra!

Honestly, this is an impossible question—because who at Evotra doesn’t inspire me? Everyone I’ve met so far has inspired me in their own unique way. Sally, in particular, stands out with her unwavering passion for the future growth of Evotra and its people.. The Resolve specialists are another level—their depth of knowledge is mind-blowing, and I’d be thrilled to know even 20% of what they do. The consultancy team, including Dips, are absolute pros—they truly know their stuff! And last but by no means least, Alex, the company EA, who somehow keeps the entire Evotra bubble afloat and running seamlessly—making it all look so easy!

I was returning to the job market after a year out and was looking for an interesting new challenge. When I was approached about a role at Evotra I was immediately interested. Although I had never worked with Depesh or Sally their reputations preceded them and I knew it would be a great opportunity to learn and grow.

Firstly, I have autonomy and I am supported in whatever I want to do, within reason of course. I also love the flexibility I have. I know as long as I get the job done, I can attend a school assembly or take my children to the dentist, which is real weight off my mind as a parent. Evotra were fully supportive of my request to work a 4-day week and I’ve never felt any pressure to login on my non-working day.

It is a really knowledgeable and friendly team at Evotra and I know if I want to run something past someone, I will always have a willing ear and someone to bounce ideas off.

Coming up with the name of the Evotra helpdesk – rEsolve

My previous place of work was a global company with hundreds of staff, so it’s been a big change. I’m a Business Analyst in the Consultancy team but I really like the opportunity to help out and try my hand at different roles, whether that is assisting the rEsolve team with a query, testing, or helping with some project management work.

I work in the Data Services team so don’t really have a ‘normal day’! For example, last week a colleague asked me how they could ‘tidy up’ 40,000 addresses without doing it manually! I work on projects that can last from 1 week to 6 months either independently or as part of a team and look at anything involving data. Migrating data, analysing data, reporting on data through automating Excel reports or Power BI dashboards and even extracting data from PDFs using AI! As a developer I enjoy the problem-solving and creative part of my job and my workload is varied!

Passionate! Everyone at Evotra is passionate about what they do, which means we are all working together to provide the best outcomes for our clients. I’m passionate about the importance of data and making it work for businesses and using technology to make efficiencies and business outcomes.

To have the opportunity to see projects through from start to finish, from discussing clients’ requirements through delivery. I have a say in how I do my work what direction I want to go in the future. The flexibility offered by Evotra is an important aspect for me. I am more efficient from home, but I can go into the London office any time I want or work at client offices.

Depesh! He’s amazing at finding solutions to problems and making what appears to be impossible become possible! My colleague Lyndsey also inspires me because she is great at asking the right questions to gather client’s requirements and problem solving. She the person you would want on any solutions team!

My days are so varied; since joining I have been working with one of our clients on a large transformation project. I could be doing anything from gathering and agreeing business requirements to designing and updating business processes or even testing solutions are fit for purpose!

Passionate. Every member of the Evotra team is passionate about what we do. Working with our clients to deliver the very best outcome is at the heart of that passion. Collaboration comes a very close second!

Joining a team as passionate as Evotra was the main selling point and I love the mission and company values. Joining a small company where I felt I could make an impact and have my opinions heard was also high on the list.

We have a fantastic team who each inspire in their own way but if I had to choose it the award would go to Sally and Depesh for starting Evotra during the height of the pandemic, a very bold move and I think one the Evotra team are all grateful for!

Having worked for a wealth technology provider for 8 years, I felt it was time for a change. When I spoke to Sally and Depesh, their vision for the company and its future direction was compelling and the opportunity to be part of a fast-growing startup was exciting. Evotra’s commitment to a culture of collaboration and continuous learning was a major factor in my decision. It presented a unique chance to grow personally and professionally.

Undoubtedly the people. The team is incredibly talented and passionate and always willing to support each other. Building close relationships with our clients also makes work more rewarding, as we can see the direct impact of our efforts on their success.

My advice is to never stop learning. Technology is constantly evolving, so it’s crucial to keep up with the latest trends. Hands-on experience through projects or internships is invaluable Networking and connecting with professionals in the industry can provide insights and opportunities that are beneficial for your career growth.

My team successfully launched a major project we had been working on for months. It was so satisfying to see all the pieces come together, thanks to great teamwork. The positive feedback from the client was icing on the cake, reinforcing the value of our hard work and dedication.

The rapid pace means there’s always something new to learn or a problem to solve. It requires flexibility and adaptability, as priorities can shift quickly. It’s a rewarding experience that offers numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth.

I was ready for a new challenge, something outside of a world I had known for almost 11 years. When the opportunity to join Evotra presented itself I jumped at the chance to work for an exciting new contender in the consultancy world!

I think everyone inspires me in their own way. Sally is so excited for the future of Evotra and brings everyone on the journey; the rEsolve specialists whose knowledge is second to none. I would love to know even 50% of what they do. And then my manager who lives the Evotra values and is proud to do so!

Stepping out of my comfort zone. I did not know what to expect and I grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Plus, I have researched and taught myself new skills including JIRA and Power BI.

It’s very exciting and because we are still new and still growing, we ALL have the chance to have an input.

Being able to make a difference. As a new, small and growing business there is so much opportunity to make an impact, come up with new ideas and be innovative.

Sally and Depesh are so passionate about what they do and making Evotra a place where employees are proud to work. I wanted to be part of the journey.

The roll out of the employee benefits package after just 3 months with the business. It is difficult to offer valuable benefits to employees when you’re a small business on a budget. We have made a great start to our employee benefits journey and its scalable to grow with the business.

Ha! It’s difficult to look past the Christmas party – and not for the party! As a remote-first business, it was really special to get everyone together for a full day of work, company feedback session and social. For many of us, it was the first time we’d met in person.

The founders! Their enthusiasm is infectious and I wanted to help the business succeed. It’s a breath of fresh air.

When a client said: “We just ask Evotra” if they have issues or need support. It’s proof we provide a valuable service to our clients.

Sally and Depesh – setting up a business is such a brave thing to do. Leanne and Meatab – these two colleagues are always there, always have time and are always willing to share. There is nothing they won’t do to help. These are priceless attributes in my opinion.

Seeing how hard everyone at Evotra works all day every day inspires me to be the best I can – for them and for Evotra. And Depesh and Sally are unwaveringly supportive during our regular catch ups.

Fun, collaborative, eventful, interesting!
