The new joiners will be working from home during the coronavirus lockdown, along with all other employees.
Youtility has made the new hires following the completion of a £4.5 million funding round, led by City entrepreneur Michael Spencer and Barclays and including investment from Ascension Ventures’ Fair By Design Fund.
In addition to new hires, the funding will be used to continue development on a range of new product elements and evolving Youtility’s data and behavioural insight capabilities.
Will Kostoris and Charlie Quigley, co-founders of Youtility commented: “We’re thrilled we’ve been able to bring onboard such strong talent so soon after our investment round. Their knowledge and experience of working with some of the world’s largest financial services brands will be invaluable as the company grows, and the skills they bring will help to progress our mission of ending the consumer loyalty trap.”
