About

I'm Arun. Ten years building a company, then two inside the business that bought it. These days the work is helping small businesses and charities make time for what matters.

Learnium started in 2013 as a learning platform for universities. A small company means doing most of the jobs yourself, so I did: sales, product, finance, hiring, and eventually running it.

When Learnlight bought us in 2023 I moved across with the engineering team and spent two years helping the two companies work as one. Seeing an acquisition from both sides is where I learned that small fixes to how work flows often matter more than big plans.

Now I work independently, trading as Izaru Works, and I'm a director of UNA Global South. I'm an operator before I'm a technologist: people and process first, technology last.

I read Geography at Cambridge, which might explain the maps. Outside work I grow food, train Muay Thai, play guitar badly and am slowly learning Polish.
