Founded by ex-Slack employees, our purpose is to support the growth and adoption of Slack. We enable organizations to collaborate more effectively by automating manual processes and replacing redundant platforms. Making your work life happy and productive!
Having worked at Slack and Salesforce for over 5 years we know how efficient and productive you can be when working in a Slack-first organization.
The gap between where companies are today and what’s possible, lead to an idea for a Slack-first consultancy. And so Bryd was born.
We specialize in helping you see the real power of the platform that we love using every day. Our goal is to offer fast and flexible services, support and tools to truly enable productive working in Slack.
Laurence was a founding member of the Slack Asia team, serving as a Sales Director. Recognising an opportunity to assist clients and become one of the first global implementation partners of Slack, he collaborated with Jacob to create Bryd.
Laurence's journey with Slack began at Datorama, which was acquired by Salesforce in 2018. Slack was not yet a widely adopted internal collaboration tool at the time, and post-acquisition, the need for a partner to scale at the pace Salesforce operates became apparent.
He has entrepreneurial roots early in his career in London with an ad-tech startup, LoopMe. He played a significant role in the company's go-to-market strategy and growth from 9 to over 300 employees. LoopMe has since successfully exited to a private equity firm.
Jacob has extensive experience overseeing large-scale Slack deployments across 13+ countries, including Australia, Singapore, India, and the United States, for some of Slack's largest clients worldwide.
At Slack, he started as one of the first Customer Success Managers in Sydney before being chosen to lead the strategy for the Asia expansion in Singapore. His role was primarily post-sales, involving implementation, consulting, and retention.
His early career started at Deloitte as a Transformation Consultant, which led him to recognise an opportunity to partner with Laurence and leverage their combined skills and expertise to launch Bryd.
We pride ourselves on doing things differently. When it comes to Slack, we understand each customers unique challenges, and how to optimize your tech and processes enabling more productive collaboration.
Our combined decade of first-hand experience with Slack and Salesforce sets us apart – no one else knows the product (or loves it) as much as we do and when it comes down to it, it’s this knowledge paired with our three key values that make all the difference.
We think outside of the box and tailor a solution for clients no matter how complex.
We are fast and cost-effective. We know what needs to be done and the best ways to accomplish them.
A happy workforce is a creative and innovative one. We strive to create this by working together with our clients.
Bryd is proud to support the Pledge 1% initiative by leveraging our Slack-first services and applications to empower charitable causes, dedicating 1% of our resources and employee time towards enhancing communication and operational efficiency for nonprofits.
