167 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 Jul22141 SMARTEDGE is a term with a broad range of meanings. For Smartedge Solutions, this means leveraging existing and proprietary technology and practices to provide innovative and practical solutions to even the most complex of procedures. And, at the helm of these solutions sits Jesu Lucas. Jesu Lucas is an avid entrepreneur, technologist, and investor who has invested in over 30 companies. Alongside Smartedge Solutions Ltd – established in 2005 – he is also the Co-Founder of Scieniti, a holding group for several subsidiaries and investments across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The core of Smartedge has been technology consulting and technology recruitment across the UK and Europe. Though headquartered in London, the Smartedge team supports clients in over 30 countries globally and operates –30 offices across the globe. Under Jesu’s leadership, it enables its customers to achieve success, and their passions, through its robust ‘EDGE’ – explore, develop, grow, excel, – career framework. Smartedge focuses on providing cost-effective SMART solutions, demonstrates a clear value for time (both in its IT Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 (South East): Jesu Lucas development and implementation), and offers an entirely flexible approach. It helps optimise companies in achieving their IT needs and maximising their potential with unique solutions that are customised and process oriented. Its ‘Steadfast Speed’ increases the quality and momentum in designing and implementing the right IT Solution, project delivery and technology recruitment services at the right price and at the right time for its clients. It specialises in digital technologies. This is far from an exhaustive list of the company’s offerings but a showcase of the organisation’s ability to reach its clients’ requirements by using various software and tools for multiple purposes. The ability to realise its clients’ needs has been built by Jesu and his team’s experience in the industry and its trusting relationship with a highly skilled technology base. The entire Smartedge team gets together monthly at its ‘Smartedge Icons’ ceremony to celebrate company milestones, recognise its top performers, share updates, and welcome its newest hires. As an organisation, it values transparency and goes to great lengths to ensure its entire company is informed regarding critical aspects of its business to apply the latest and most efficient practices to every client. The core of Smartedge has always been flexibility and adaptability to the ever-changing industry needs. Smartedge shall be willing to collaborate with any client to identify the right talent worldwide and, whether a start-up or an established global firm, it has a solution for all its customers’ needs. Post-Covid, Smartedge has noted that clients are more open to adapting to changes and building remote teams rather than having a team onsite. Its clients’ core focus has changed from finding local talent to global talent, which works perfectly for such a global-conscious organisation. One of the many benefits of being headquartered in the UK is how perfectly its time zone fits with global customers – with a good overlap between APAC, EMEA & Americas. The UK’s openness and flexibility to conduct business are significant factors behind Smartedge’s success and continued operations in the UK. It is clear how and why the organisation operates out of London. Smartedge is growing year on year and continues to expand globally. Jesu Lucas set the company up for success decades ago, and its well-fostered approach of flexibility and customisation that its clients have relied on for continued success. With this continued growth and success across the world, Jesu should be exceptionally proud of what he has built because he has truly earned the title of IT Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 for the South East.
