Digital People Moves Report: Spring / Summer 2021

Welcome to the Spring / Summer 2021 Digital Leadership report from Princedale.
Listed below are some of the main new digital leadership talent hires. As we slowly release from lockdowns, the drive for hiring leadership talent in the digital spheres couldn’t be clearer.
The appointments listed here are as always an overview of digital leaders across our network who’ve taken up new positions in the last few months – not purely a list of Princedale placements.
You can now click each person’s name to view their Linkedin profile – do please share and all comments welcome!
If you have future Chief, SVP or VP digital leadership needs in my field of expertise; Customer & Marketing, Commercial, Product & Operations, send me a note to discuss how I might be able to help.
