Uncrowd adds Joanne Webb to advisory board

Joanne Webb has joined retail analytics startup Uncrowd as a board advisor.

Webb is Global E-commerce & Digital Director at Merlin Entertainments. She has also worked for Gap/Banana Republic as Interim European Marketing Director and Due Entertainment as Interim Sales and Marketing Director/Commercial Director.

“As you know, I’ve never been one to just “follow the herd” and this team have a truly innovative and deeply relevant product on their hands. I look forward to being part of their success that is surely on the cards,” she said in a LinkedIn post. 

“For those of you who are constantly frustrated by a lack of insight to explain why you’re losing customers to competitors...and little understanding of how to get them back...here’s the solution, and they’re a fun bunch too!”

Uncrowd was founded by Richard Hammond in 2017. He is the author of Friction/Reward and Smart Retail and also an advisory committee member at NearSt, a startup whose technology links products on shop shelves in real-time to nearby customers searching in Google. The venture landed £2 million in seed funding earlier this year.
