What led you here, and what keeps you here?
I came to PrettyLittleThing from financial services. I wanted a change and a new experience. I saw that PrettyLittleThing were on a steep growth curve, and I wanted to be involved in the early stages and help shape that growth. I get to be part of the brand story and live my dream of working somewhere that’s agile with an unrivalled pace. Better still, it’s full of talented, innovative people to work with and learn from.

What’s your vision, strategy, and leadership style?
Our vision is to deliver software and tech services quickly in a seamless and agile way. We believe in a test and learn approach, so optimisation is front of mind, always. For us it’s all about adding value. Tech is all about continuous improvement, so everything we do is scalable.
My leadership style is about empowerment – my teams have ownership over their product, and I make sure that I help them focus on deriving value from their work. My team works hand in hand with the wider business and builds great relationships. I structure the team around capacity for continuous growth. Our tech goals must align with brand strategy, so I’m big on collaboration; it’s essential.

The brand and business embrace change, so we have to adapt – this offers so much opportunity for development and career progression.
