About Brian Marcel

With over 35 years of hands-on, high-level senior corporate and entrepreneurial experience, Brian has grown the IBCS Group from a standing start, in November 1988, to the #1 enterprise mobility integrator in Central and Eastern Europe. Along the way he has made 4 millionaires and has a goal to make another 10 in the next 5 years.

Brian spotted an untapped region in the former Soviet bloc before the wall came down and found some potential entrepreneurs working in State run Companies, bought them out, set them up in business with shares and finance and best business practices. Today the IBCS Group is the No 1 in the region and the only real group of disparate cultures who really work together in harmony.

His success is based on ownership, openness and trust, values that are shared across the 5 companies in Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria. As Chairman of the Group he is responsible for the survival of the Group, the strategic vision, supplier relationships, and overseeing the leadership board to maximise shareholder value.
