MYMAX is pleased to announce a new partnership with CLAID, who join us as an Industry Partner, bringing deep capability in AI, digital strategy, and operational efficiency for privately owned businesses.

This partnership builds on a long-standing relationship with Nigel Heyn, who many in our community will already know as a valued contributor to the Owner Manager Program. Through his previous business, REDD Digital, and now through CLAID, Nigel has worked closely with MYMAX participants to demystify technology and help owners apply it in practical, commercially meaningful ways.

At MYMAX, we see firsthand that while interest in AI and digital transformation is high, many owners are still navigating where to start – and how to ensure these tools create real value, not just noise. CLAID’s approach aligns strongly with our philosophy: grounded, practical, and focused on outcomes. Together, we aim to help owners cut through complexity and embed technology in ways that improve performance, productivity, and long-term business value.

CLAID brings more than 25 years of experience building and advising businesses, with a strong track record of leveraging technology to reshape business models and unlock growth. Their perspective is rooted in real-world application – moving beyond theory to help owners make informed, strategic decisions about where technology can have the greatest impact.

Through this partnership, CLAID will continue to contribute to the Owner Manager Program and broader MYMAX initiatives, supporting our community with insights and tools to better understand and apply AI and emerging technologies within their own businesses.

We look forward to working closely with CLAID as we continue to support private business owners to build more capable, resilient, and future-ready businesses.
