Richard Meirion-Williams has joined global tech consultancy hedgehog lab in the newly created role of chief growth officer.
The Newcastle-headquartered firm says his remit is to build on the momentum generated by the recent acquisition of Netsells, a digital agency specialising in app development.
With 25 years’ experience of working in the business consulting, IT software and services market, Meirion-Williams joins from Emergn, where as chief revenue officer he increased booked revenues to over $50 million in 2022.
In his previous role at Zuhlke he delivered 30% revenue growth within two years. His career also spans IBM, Intel, Hitachi Consulting, and a number of start-up companies in software and IT services.
Reporting to hedgehog lab CEO and founder Sarat Pediredla, Meirion-Williams’s team will include head of growth Rob Bellingham and head of client engagement Clare Weightman.
