Martin Newman

I am a globally recognised expert in Customer Centricity and Customer Experience, with over four decades of experience in the consumer-facing industry. Passionate about driving positive change for both consumers and brands, Iโ€™ve transformed the customer experience landscape by leading multichannel operations for renowned brands like Burberry, Ted Baker, and Harrods, as well as scaling and selling the global e-commerce agency Practicology. This journey has provided me with a deep understanding of customer behaviour and the strategies needed to meet their evolving needs.
