Chris South shares his entrepreneurial journey — from corporate career to founding Roi-AI and Prominence, and the lessons learned along the way.
In a recent interview with TechKeys APAC, Roi-AI Founder and CEO Chris South shared his perspective on entrepreneurship, the future of recruitment technology, and the personal journey that led him to build two successful companies.
Chris is CEO of Roi-AI, the recruitment automation platform, and Managing Director at Prominence — a marketing agency specialising in the recruitment sector — which he founded in 2014 and has grown to more than 20 employees across four offices. He's emphatic that technology should enhance rather than replace recruiters: "The best agencies will always be run by great people. What we're doing is giving those people superpowers."
Chris spoke candidly about his transition from a corporate career to entrepreneurship — the fears, the adjustments, and the unexpected upsides. He discussed how improvements to his work-life balance amplified rather than reduced his output and decision-making, and shared his recommended reading for anyone navigating the early stages of building a business.
