We caught up with recent Founders Live presenter Saul Tarazona of eJet Aerospace…

Please introduce yourself with a short bio

With an unwavering passion for technology, I am Saul Tarazona, who has embarked on a remarkable 16-year journey deeply entrenched in defense aviation programs, collaborating with various governments including the United States, Colombia, and the United Arab Emirates. My trajectory I have risen from the grassroots, ultimately establishing myself as a reputable consultant and advisor in the realm of emerging technologies and innovation strategy.

Holding an MBA degree from Coventry University and a bachelor's in Aeronautical Engineering, I boast a rich blend of academic prowess and hands-on experience. Beyond formal education, I have honed my skills as an international speaker, adding another dimension to my multifaceted career.

In addition to my diverse professional background, I excel as an astute investor and advisor for prominent Family Offices worldwide, specializing in the dynamic landscape of emerging technologies. My expertise spans pivotal sectors such as Blockchain, Electric Vehicles, FinTech, and other promising up-and-coming technologies.

In pursuit of my entrepreneurial aspirations, I serve as the Founder of String Group and holds the prestigious position of Co-Founder at eJet Aerospace—pioneering "The New Way to Fly." Through these business ventures, I continue to drive innovation and make significant strides in the ever-evolving world of technology and aviation.

As an entrepreneur, why did you choose this path of creating your own company?

During my tenure as an employee, I realized that the existing work structure and job title often constrained my ability to fully utilize my capabilities and passion for technology innovation. I yearned for the freedom to transcend traditional boundaries and bring forth groundbreaking ideas. When that pivotal breakthrough idea finally struck, I wasted no time and promptly took decisive action to manifest it into reality. This drive for innovation and my eagerness to act upon it define my entrepreneurial spirit and determination to make a meaningful impact in the tech industry.

Why do you feel others will benefit from Founders Live as well?

I felt was an amazing experience, and I'm very thankful for the contacts I have created thanks to this amazing platform created to support innovation and entrepreneurs.
