Cas Paton

Cas Paton is the founder and CEO of OnBuy.com, an online marketplace that he launched in 2016. Before founding OnBuy, Paton had been involved in web development since his teenage years and started his first company while still in university. Paton's vision for OnBuy was to create a genuine marketplace that prioritizes the interests of sellers, unlike other platforms that compete with their sellers. Under Paton's leadership, OnBuy has experienced remarkable growth, achieving over 3400% expansion in just three years. This rapid growth led to OnBuy being ranked among Europe's fastest-growing e-commerce businesses on the FT1000 list. Paton has faced challenges in scaling the OnBuy workforce from a core team of 14 to over 100 employees but has adapted the company's recruitment and management processes to support this growth. Looking ahead, Paton is focused on creating more value for OnBuy's retailers, improving processes, and introducing major new features and benefits that will "shake up the industry".Paton's entrepreneurial spirit, strategic vision, and commitment to fairness and transparency have been instrumental in OnBuy's success and rapid growth.
