experiences through digital channels. Lee has also held the position of Head of Data & Customer Analytics for Royal Bank of Scotland and was involved in the launch of Boots’ Advantage Card Loyalty
Program.

strategy engagements with blue chip local and international clients. The expansion of our team further demonstrates our position of having the most experienced team in loyalty.”

consultant, who heads up our strategy, based in Melbourne, and Simon Rowles, who brings 35 years’ international experience and heads up the Ellipsis Technology Practice, which helps our clients find
the best new customer experience products. This is an executive team we are truly proud of.”
