A bit about you
I’ve been in the eCommerce space for over two years, working as part of the UK Partnerships team at Yotpo. In my current role, I work closely with our EMEA agency partners to help implement sustainable retention strategies for their clients.
Before Yotpo, I worked in enterprise loyalty, creating commercial partnerships aimed at significantly lowering CPAs (I have always been savvy to the world of retention!). Prior to that, influencer marketing was my thing both professionally and personally.

With unified, data-driven solutions for loyalty, SMS marketing, email, reviews, subscriptions, and visual user-generated content, Yotpo helps brands like Dr. Martens, BEAUTY BAY, Moroccanoil, and Allbirds deliver winning, cohesive experiences that drive growth and customer retention.
