Ep.9 Bulgaria & the Human side of Automation
"Pursue doing what you love and you will become good at what you love." Alexis Chevallot
INTRO'S
This episode captures the quality conversation I had with Alexis Chevallot and Marchela Georgieva, founders of the automation company Capto. Their mission: to save 1 billion (with a 'b') boring hours of work. So the humans performing those tasks can be freed up to identify value creation opportunities in the the organizations they work for. Tied to their vision of automating non-value added work is a commitment to make it affordable for smaller organizations to leverage this technology as well.
AUTOMATION
One of the keys to the work of Alexis and Marchela at Capto is their view of automation as a compliment to human contributions, not a replacement. By automating certain tasks using available systems and technology like RPA (Robotic Process Automation), those impacted are freed to use this time more productively and creatively, bringing more of their unique value to the organization.
BULGARIA
Alexis shared about the personal and business-side value of living in Bulgaria and starting a company there. Lots of exciting things happening in Bulgaria currently! Lots of of innovation and growth. Lots of new, and yet much remains the same - the warm people, the traditional lifestyle of many living close to the earth. I made myself a cup of 'Bilkov tea' for our conversation. It brought back very strong memories of the 100's of times I drank that tea in Bulgaria.
It was interesting to hear Marchela's perspective as a young Bulgarian who had moved away to study and become a professional accountant in England. And her journey to eventually return to Bulgaria with Alexis to start a tech automation company.
STAYING FOCUSED & CENTRED
When asked about how they stay grounded in what's most important, both Marchela and Alexis cited the value of connecting with others doing similar things, starting businesses for example. And the encouragement that comes from hearing that others doubt, others struggle - even if you don't see it on the outside. Marchela shared some key activities from her personal journey, like the value of meditation.
Alexis highlighted something very important as well - his commitment from a young age to pursue what he loved, more than what he was good at. Then to work hard at this to become good at it. An action that has eventually led him to where he is now, starting a tech automation company in Bulgaria with Marchela.
