the butterfly team
Fiona Savory
Chairman,CEO and Co-Founder
Innovator,international networker and Former Lady Mayoress of the City of London.
Graduating with a degree in Biochemistry, I moved from sunny Scotland to London, trained as a stock broker and I loved it.
Despite running organisations within both the public and government sectors I never dreamt I would end up building an app.
Creating butterfly and bringing it to reality shows that passion and determination work at any age!
Matthew Waterworth
Senior Account Manager
As a cycling enthusiast Matt enjoys cycling around the UK coastland - albeit not in one go.
Unsurprisingly as some of us aren't so youthful this isn't a Butterfly team expedition but we definitely applaud his effort which is replicated in his enthusiasm for finding new brand collaborations for Butterfly.
Entertaining clients is his speciality, so you can always find Matt exploring London's hotspots!
Matt's also a dog lover albeit Labradors but Beau still approves!
Alistair Tennant
CEO and Co-Founder
Singer, Songwriter & Vocal Coach, with numerous credits including No 1 hits, Billboard top 40 songs and Ivor Novello nominations.
The Official X-Factor Vocal Coach for One Direction and mentor to Jessie J.
Now working on the Voice ,whilst juggling butterfly and a beautiful baby boy.
From the first time Ali and I met - we just hit it off. We both felt there was more to achieve in our lives but the desire to succeed was equally matched by a genuine need to give something back.
butterfly was born.
Nick Daniels
Chief Technical Officer
Nick has been with us since the birth of butterfly. And apart from repeating NFL - (Not for Launch) at most meetings - we still love him. Working in IT from the time dinosaurs walked the planet, having built and sold two companies and co- founding Alliants in 2009 - he's a smart bloke.
Nick likes to think we made him our CTO for his global knowledge of coffee varieties and that he knows his Port from his Starboard! - but we know better.
Dijon Hierlehy
Creative Director
Dijon graduated from The University of York with a degree in Philosophy, before completing his Master’s degree at Birkbeck.
A self taught artist he has exhibited at the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins and LAB art in Los Angeles,exhibiting alongside many artists including Tracy Emin and Chris Levine.
Having bought some of Dijon's art, it didn't take long to realise he had the skills that butterfly needed.
Luckily, Dijon thought the same - and as they say the rest is history.
Dijon now leads butterfly design.
Fiona aka Kuki Rauh
Business Development Advisor
Having run her own successful business for eleven years, whilst
working as a senior level business consultant for the last ten years; Kuki is the ultimate multitasker.
Working with companies to advise, help with business development,strategic project development and management. Energetic and self-motivated with proven accomplishments, her strengths lie in strategic analysis of a business’s strongest route to success, building relationships with target clients and generating new business opportunities in specific markets.
Well, you can guess why we hired her! Plus she has puppies - how cool is that!
Leonora Bell
Social Media Guru
Graduating from Oxford Brookes in 2016, Leonora or Leo to her many friends! spent her time meeting deadlines, no NOT just the essays but the parties!
We knew Leonora would fit her role as Butterfly’s Social Media Guru - wonderfully having seen her creative talents in the kitchen, making a trifle beautiful and a soufflé two foot high. Ali and Dijon eat a lot! It was a unanimous vote!
Now ensconced- Leo keeps the team entertained with her latest dance moves learnt from YouTube. But you will never seen them without a massive bribe
butterfly affiliates
Alliants
Alliants is a Technology Consultancy and Software Engineering company that helps businesses old and new conquer and embrace the digital age whether it's building apps, website development or eCommerce strategy. So we didn't hire them for their pizza making skills, elegant dress codes or music tastes - but rather the stuff we couldn't build in our kitchen!
Thanks Guys we wouldn't be here without you.
Rick Peet
BGA Accountants
No we didn't just choose Rick and BGA because they are dog friendly but because they are jolly good at what they do - crunching numbers, stapling receipts and other boring but necessary accountancy and tax stuff.
Oh and the dogs, Mollie and Cassie are Border Collies, the ideal breed for rounding up client's and passing sheep.
GoldPine Productions
Brothers Joe and Jack Carrano are a prime example of butterfly users. Young, hip, creative and sushi aficionados!
After studying Film at the University of Hertfordshire they set up Goldpine in 2015. Since then, this independent and visionary film company has worked for leading UK art galleries, produced several music videos and award winning short films.
We couldn't afford to buy the company, but we liked them so much - we hired them to be butterfly's official videographers.
PS. Don't tell anyone, but Jack is also Fiona's personal "street talk" translator e.g. "Boss it's Grime aka Stormzy - not Grind - that's a different kinda song!"
Sam Dedewo runs APE Multimedia and is butterfly's Animation and Motion Graphics Guru. A producer, songwriter, 3d animator, graphic designer and more.
Devilishly handsome, a martial arts expert and a Chocoholic - Sam can demolish a Toblerone with his pinkie. And as for a Chocolate orange - well its messy!
