Datitude is thrilled to announce Justin Lord has joined as Sales Director to lead and develop all sales and partnership activities to support the company’s continued growth.
As a senior appointment, Justin will join Sarah Hughes and Gavin Wilkinson, Datitude’s Co-founders & Directors, and James McLaughlan, Chief Operating Officer on Datitude’s leadership team. If you’re thinking this (dream 😉) team sounds familiar, you’d be right! The four of them worked together for many years at Fresca (one of the UK’s leading ecommerce platforms).
As Fresca’s Executive Chair and Business Development Director, Justin was a key player in Fresca’s phenomenal success. He was involved with Fresca from the early noughties right through to 2011, after the business was sold to BT.
In addition to his impressive track record in ecommerce with Fresca, Justin has extensive experience in senior sales and marketing roles for several blue-chip organisations in consumer goods and pharmaceuticals (B2B and DTC). He’s also set up and led his own businesses; a dotcom agency in the late 90s and, most recently, a cycling tours business in the South of France. Yes, he’s an avid and impressive cyclist too!
Announcing Justin’s appointment, Sarah Hughes, Co-founder & Director, said:
"I’m over the moon Justin has joined Datitude in this key role. Justin has a wealth of expertise, with a naturally engaging and consultative approach, and exceptional commercial awareness. As we continue to invest in our technology and solutions, demand for our managed data platforms and solutions is increasing. With Justin on board, we’re better able to capture new and emerging growth opportunities. I’m personally thrilled to be working with Justin again. Our growth plans are exciting, and I know he will add immense value to the business.”
On joining, Justin Lord, Sales Director, said:
“It’s great to be here and at such an exciting time from a future growth perspective. It’ll be good to work with Sarah, Gavin and James again, as well as the rest of the team, albeit in a very different business. I’m looking forward to meeting our clients, partners and prospects, and attending tech and retail events. Given some of Datitude’s solutions are specifically for the retail and ecommerce sector, I’m expecting to bump into many people I haven’t seen for years!”
We wish Justin all the best in his new role.
