Founder, Aquilon Tech
Donny Todd is the founder of Aquilon Tech, the Birmingham-based partner that builds custom software and AI automation and runs the marketing that fills the pipeline for owner-led UK businesses.
Before Aquilon, Donny spent 16 years running a multi-site retail and service operation working with brands including Apple and Porsche, covering sales, marketing, hiring and the technology underneath, and worked across distribution, automotive and international recruitment.
He writes from the owner's side of the table: which software and AI tools are worth adopting, what they really cost, and where they pay back. He uses Claude to run Aquilon day to day and built Aquilon Academy to help owner-managers do the same.
