“Andy is a huge catch, especially as his experience is so diverse; super skilled retail and consumer focussed CIO, but also with a Silicon Valley background and startup chops. It’s wonderful to have Andy invest, even better to welcome him as an advisor,” says Richard Hammond, Uncrowd CEO and Founder.

Gamble comments: “I’m super excited to join the Uncrowd team as they scale their world class data and insights business. Their quantitative CX measurement methodology and comparative results are the future of customer analytics tech, and I’m proud to be not only an investor but also an advisor at such an exciting stage of Richard and the team's growth.”

He joins ex-dunnhumby CEO Simon Hay, and ex-Oracle CX leader Martin Ward on the Uncrowd advisory board.
