Why he built NextCTL
For more than a decade, our Founder & CEO worked closely alongside other people's operations. CRM platforms in California. Hosting infrastructure in the UK. DevOps for teams where an outage was somebody's business, not a ticket.
The pattern rarely changed. The software was fine. The work around the software was the problem. Someone still had to answer the phone, chase the lead, copy the data across, and remember the follow up on day three.
He founded NextCTL in 2022 with a clear vision to answer that problem. Not another tool: an operating layer. AI agents, custom software and growth infrastructure, built by one team that stays accountable for the outcome.
Service businesses do not need more disconnected tools. They need systems that answer the phone, move the pipeline, and free people to do high judgment work.

Three ventures, one idea underneath
Each product below exists because a client problem repeated often enough to be worth solving once, properly.
Three positions he keeps returning to
Automation has to compound
A saved hour is only worth something if it moves to work that pays better. That is the test before anything gets automated.
Every hour you automate is an hour that compounds somewhere more valuable.
turjo.me Software should feel like a hire
Not another dashboard to check. Something that does the work, reports back, and gets better the longer it runs.
Technology should feel like hiring your smartest employee: one who never sleeps, never forgets, and gets cheaper every year.
turjo.me Rebuild the work, not the toolbar
Most AI projects stall because a model gets bolted onto a process nobody redesigned. He starts with the process.
The AI gap isn't about tools. It's about operating on AI: rebuilding how the work itself gets done.
