New appointment
In September of last year, Swapi announced the appointment of Carolina Paradas-Mandato, previously Global Senior Affiliates & CLO Manager at Harvey Nichols, as its new Head of Strategic Partnerships.
She is in charge of expanding the startup into new territories as well as handling all affiliate relationships with the brands working with Swapi.
Founder and CEO Pete Howroyd, said “Everyone at Swapi is ecstatic with the amount (£860,000) we have managed to raise during our pre-seed round.”
“The funds are already proving vital to making the app the best it can be, as well as bringing in fantastic new additions to the team like Carolina, who we are delighted to welcome to the team.”
He added: “With Carolina’s experience, we’re confident we can bring globally recognised brands onto the Swapi app as we prepare to revolutionise the retail loyalty environment for the better.”
