Unanimis founder's passion for people

by Catherine Woods - Friday, 28th March 2008 -

Unanimis founder's passion for people

Khalil Ibrahimi describes having 55 employees at his internet advertising company Unanimis as “awe inspiring”.

Ibrahimi launched the company in April 2001 and four key staff members (Ibrahimi calls them co-founders) joined shortly after. All five are still in the business.

Unanimis has experienced explosive growth during the past few years and most recent turnover was £17m.

There’s an options programme for staff in place at Unanimis and Ibrahimi says 16 people currently have a growing stake in the business.

Like most entrepreneurs, Ibrahimi has a passion to succeed but it seems he takes just as much satisfaction from developing the people in his business.

“We’re close to our first Unanimis marriage,” he adds proudly.
