Major Achievements

At Photobox Group (including Moonpig), I led the integration of several acquired factories and teams across Europe into one unified operational platform. This included aligning manufacturing processes, consolidating supply chains, implementing a shared technology stack, and embedding a common culture and leadership structure. Despite the complexity, we delivered significant cost savings, improved delivery performance, and created a scalable foundation that supported Moonpig’s growth and IPO readiness. It was a defining project that combined strategic thinking, tech integration, and people leadership — and one I’m especially proud of. From £20m revenues / 80 staff / 2 markets, when I started in 2006, to £450m revenues / 1,400 staff / 20 markets / 6 factories / 20 outsourcing partners, when I left in 2020.
