In this time, he has not only transformed businesses but also fostered teams to excel in creating innovative digital products and touchpoints that significantly improve customer journeys.
Topics Covered:

- The importance of customer-centric testing and optimisation

Key Quotes:
- "If you think about customers as numbers, you'll drive the number up now, but it's very short-lived."
- "We're not only looking at the sale, but the whole loop - before you come to our websites through to how do I make you want to make a second purchase with us?"
- "If you just do conversion optimisation, you'd minimise the content and push people through. What we found was by making it a slightly longer process and helping people understand the product, we got more sign-ups and retained more customers."
