Organizer
Once upon a time, in 1991, three family members sat around a kitchen table in West London and devised a plan. This plan was to start a company which would help to connect businesses in emerging, formerly-Soviet countries, with those in advanced economies, to do business. Then called ITE Group, the concept was met with enormous popularity and the company began its pioneering journey. More than thirty years later, facilitating transformational business connections remains at the heart of what we do.
