Terry Walby

Terry is Founder and CEO of Blue Prism Cloud, an award-winning AI software as a service (SaaS) company whose intelligent automation platform provides a pool of “digital workers” delivered from the cloud, which not only improve workforce productivity but provide a foundation for digital transformation, allowing organizations and the people that work for them to do and achieve more.

Terry has a depth of experience in developing and scaling businesses, and in delivering innovation and optimization both into end user organizations in the public and private sectors, and to the service provider and outsourcer community who serve them. He spent a career in leadership of technology businesses including IBM, GE Capital, Computacenter, and IPsoft before founding Thoughtonomy, and has been fortunate to have received numerous industry accolades including three awards for entrepreneurship. 

His passionate belief in the power of technology to deliver business change, and a realization that AI will change the world of work forever, led to him founding Thoughtonomy in 2013. Following several year of rapid growth, in 2018 Thoughtonomy were recognized at #11 in the Deloitte Fast 50 and #4 in the Sunday Times Tech Track 100. In July 2019, Blue Prism acquired 100% of the share capital of Thoughtonomy, with the Company being rebranded as Blue Prism Cloud.

In addition to this full time role, Terry’s experience of the service provider and outsourcing markets and a passion to drive the success of strategic partnering in sourcing led to him joining the GSA Council, where he contributes to the great work they undertake, initially chairing the working group on the impact of automation and AI on the global sourcing ecosystem, and then moving to the Management Council.
