Paul Faulkner

CEO at Total Enterprise Solutions & ForGood.Tech

Rugeley, England, United Kingdom

About

I believe that technology should empower those who are making this world a better place. As the CEO of ForGood.Tech (the new trading name of TES), I get to do just that. Our mission: To help not-for-profits implement finance and fundraising technology that increases their efficiency and amplifies their impact. What makes ForGood.Tech unique is being a Microsoft partner who is 100% dedicated to the not-for-profit sector. Whether working with customers or colleagues, we deliver what we promise, we never compromise on quality, and we do it with passion and integrity. These are the values the ForGood.Tech Board and the entire company practice daily. In previous roles, I was instrumental in growing a strong base of loyal clients and a high-performing delivery team, hitting and exceeding Profit & Loss targets. I worked with multinational organisations, including one with $160bn in revenue, managing service delivery across the globe. With 30+ years in the IT Industry, I’ve grown and merged two software companies — an experience that was key to my appointment as Managing Director of ForGood.Tech and subsequent progression to CEO. Today, I’m applying this experience to grow an organisation that’s built on long-term partnerships and sector expertise that lets charities and not-for-profits solve their AI and tech headaches and focus on what matters most — their mission.
