New Captain at the Helm: Velos IoT Group Welcomes Colin Chew as CEO
In the ever-evolving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), leadership changes can signal new directions and fresh perspectives. Velos, a key player in the IoT connectivity landscape, has just unfurled its sails with the announcement of Colin Chew stepping in as the new Chief Executive Officer. He takes the wheel from Graeme Millar, who has navigated the company through a sea of achievements, including the strategic carve-out from JT and the successful acquisitions of TopConnect and NextM2M.
Charting the Course: Graeme Millar’s Legacy and Colin Chew’s Vision
Graeme Millar’s tenure at Velos has been nothing short of a high-seas adventure, with the company expanding its horizons and solidifying its position in the competitive IoT market. Under his watch, Velos has not only separated from its parent company, JT, but also expanded its fleet through acquisitions that have broadened its reach and capabilities.
Colin Chew, the incoming CEO, steps aboard with a spyglass focused on the future. His appointment comes at a time when IoT is increasingly becoming the backbone of our digital society. With a fresh hand on the tiller, Chew is expected to steer Velos through the choppy waters of technological innovation and market expansion.
Impact on Jersey: A Ripple or a Wave?
While Velos operates on the global stage, the implications of this leadership change are felt right here in Jersey. The company’s growth and success are testaments to the island’s potential as a hub for tech innovation. Chew’s leadership could further enhance Jersey’s reputation in the tech sector, potentially leading to more jobs, better connectivity, and a stronger economy.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing. The tech industry is notoriously fickle, and the pressures of maintaining momentum post-acquisition can be immense. Chew’s ability to navigate these challenges will be critical not just for Velos, but for the broader tech community in Jersey.

As Colin Chew takes the helm of Velos, the company is poised to continue its voyage in the IoT space. It’s a sector where the winds of change blow fiercely, and only the most adept sailors can keep their ships on course. Chew’s appointment is more than just a change of guard; it’s a signal to the market that Velos is charting a course towards new horizons.
For our conservative readership, the growth of a tech company like Velos is a beacon of free-market success. It’s a reminder that innovation, not regulation, is the tide that raises all boats. Yet, we must remain vigilant. As Velos expands under Chew’s leadership, we’ll be keeping a weather eye on the horizon, ensuring that the company’s growth translates into tangible benefits for Jersey, without succumbing to the siren song of unchecked expansion.
In the end, it’s not just about the IoT; it’s about Jersey’s place in the digital world. With Chew at the wheel, we’re hopeful that Velos will not only thrive but also contribute to a thriving Jersey economy. And that, dear readers, is a voyage worth watching.
