FIVE MINS WITH ...

GAVIN MEE

Managing Director Northern Europe at UiPath

Q . WHAT DOES YOUR COMPANY PROVIDE THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY ?

» Just how physical industry robots can streamline processes on the factory floor , UiPath software robots can provide support to the manufacturing industry . Rather than solely relying on employees to complete time-consuming and repetitive admin tasks such as procurement , order management , inventory management and payment processing to name a few , UiPath robots can lend a helping hand .

Q . WHAT TECHNOLOGY DO YOU THINK WILL BE THE MOST VITAL TO THE INDUSTRY IN 2021 ?

» Last year saw a huge amount of change within the manufacturing industry and business as a whole .

Automation has proved vital in helping organisations adapt to the new business climate by digitalising processes to reduce the need for employees to be physically present , all while improving efficiency in difficult economic circumstances . For this reason , I believe RPA will continue to prove vital in 2021 .
Q . IS THERE A PARTICULAR ACHIEVEMENT YOU ARE PROUD OF IN YOUR CAREER ?

» I take pride in helping people realise their career goals , in particular helping them start their own leadership careers .

“ Through our diverse and equal talent principle , we will also continue to make UiPath a great place to work ”
