Brent Hoberman

Founder, lastminute.com

As co-founder of lastminute.com, Hoberman is a digital industry veteran who, since leaving his role as chief executive and then chairman in 2007, has branched out once more into entrepreneurship, from chairing online furniture store made.com and founding mydeco.com to running Founders Forum. After its launch in 1998, lastminute.com quickly became one of the most successful websites of its kind in Europe, and was sold to Sabre in 2005 for a believed £577 million. Hoberman is currently a partner in PROfounders Capital, which he founded in 2009, and which recently invested in a new peer-to-peer car hire scheme with EasyJet’s Stelios Haji-Ioannou. That same year he was also selected as one of the World Economic Forum’s global young leaders for the UK and was a governor of the University of the Arts London.
