As I outlined when I became CEO, I have ambitious growth plans for Awin and the value we offer our customers. An integral part of this is building on our customer-centric approach to make sure it’s something that is truly embodied by our staff and felt by our customers at every touchpoint with Awin. While David’s notable background speaks for itself, what really impressed us was his understanding of what Awin wants to achieve and his ideas and motivation to contribute to that in what will be a pivotal role.”
David Lloyd, CCO at Awin comments “It’s an exciting time to join Awin as it continues its ambitious transformation. What attracted me to the role is Awin’s drive to always do better, both for its staff and its customers. While it would be easy to relax after another phenomenal year of growth, Awin wants to capitalize on increased investment in affiliate marketing partnerships, and bring the benefits to even more businesses that need profitable, risk-free solutions tailored for any marketing challenge. I look forward to joining a fantastic team and leveraging my experience to further optimize Awin’s customer journeys, putting the customer’s needs at the heart of every interaction they have with us.”
