Chief Technology Officer @ Huel

🙌 CELEBRATING 6 YEARS AT HUEL 🎉 Last month marked my 6-year anniversary at Huel. Over this time, I've seen significant changes, both professionally and personally. On a personal note, what I’ve lost in hair, I’ve gained in two children – not sure if that's correlation or causation! 👴 From a professional standpoint, I've been fortunate to experience firsthand the challenges of scaling a business, particularly from a tech perspective. It has been a constant balancing act of helping to GROW demand, while putting in place the systems and processes that can MEET that demand. Finding the right balance has been key in scaling the business. Lean too much one way and you find yourself having customer experience issues (e.g systems can’t keep up with volume). Lean too much the other way and you become slow to react (too much focus on infrastructure at the expense of sales driving activity). Having good data on operational and marketing metrics is key to this - something we are always looking to improve. I’ve said this many times before, but if you get the chance to join an early stage business in a growing industry - do it. The experience gained will be invaluable! 🚀 There are still lots more challenges for us to tackle. To join the team check out careers.huel.com #hueligans #huel #jobs #careers #technology #data
