Former ThoughtWorks exec Matthew Hildon joins Kin + Carta as Retail Portfolio Director

Digital transformation consultancy Kin + Carta has appointed Matthew Hildon as its Retail Portfolio Director

He joins from ThoughtWorks where he spent over seven years, working his way up through the ranks from Digital Transformation Consultant to Global Portfolio Director.

Prior to that, Hildon was Head of Technology at Sky Betting & Gaming, and Head of Mobile and Social at The Co-operative Group.

His latest role will see him heading up Kin + Carta’s portfolio of retail clients, which includes Tesco, River Island and Dunelm.

Hildon says: “I’ve watched Kin + Carta as an envious competitor and have always been really impressed with the work coming out through its door.”

“It’s a consultancy building teams of blended experience, being advisors as well as suppliers  – a business practice that aligns with what I love most about being a consultant.”

“My new position will not only allow me to succeed in delivering sustainable, digital transformation to retailers but also allows me to once again work with some of the most respected colleagues I’ve encountered over my career, who now make up a large part of Kin + Carta.” 

Adam Grant-Jones, Chief Growth Officer at Kin + Carta Europe, comments: “Matt is a great addition to a thriving team focused on taking us to the next level in retail.”

“His passion for identifying innovative solutions which enhance the customer experience and embedding transformational change across people, process and technology makes him the perfect fit for the role and what we stand for.”
