Meet The Team: Martyn
What is your name and role?
Martyn Coupland - Chief Technology Officer
If you had to sum up The Edge Hub in 5 words what would it be?
Empowering people by building networks
What was your favourite event of 2024, and why?
All of our networking events, they are core to what we do and it's great to see people getting value `
professionally or personally from someone they've met at our events.
What are you most looking forward to in 2025, both at work and outside of it?
Professionally, as we continue to build our innovation products, we have some exciting things coming in 2025!
We are also working on some exciting customer projects, which will be fantastic to share.
What project have you been most proud of working on at The Edge?
In 2024, we've helped customers be more secure, more productive, and more innovative, as well as helped children
and parents be more cyber aware. In doing these things, we've made real differences to businesses and
helped some of our most vulnerable in society be more aware of the dangers of the online world.
Is there a personal or professional milestone you’re aiming for in 2025?
Professionally, I am looking to continue our great work in 2024, looking at what we can do on our technical
offerings to improve the way we work and use it to our advantage, as well as our customers and partners.
If you could swap roles with anyone else on the team for a day, who would it be and why?
Easy, has to be El. Then I'll get to find out how much of a pain in the backside I really am with all my requests for things and crazy ideas on customer projects.
If The Edge was a film, who would play you?
Ok, I had to ask ChatGPT this question based on what it knows about me, the answer was Matt Damon.
Who makes the best coffee?
It's certainly not Antonio!
What song would you choose as your “walk-on” song if we had a team talent show?
Not just because Muse are my favourite band, but Uprising would be great. The lyrics are about challenging the status quo,
which is exactly what we are doing every day.
What’s one item you’d bring if we all went on a deserted island team retreat?
Hammock - who needs survival gear when you can just relax!
