Nigel Howlett

An experienced advisor to global, regional and local private equity firms and a proven non-executive chair/director, drawing on over 30 years%27 experience as a senior international executive/leader in marketing technology and professional/consulting services.

During this time, I worked for public, privately owned and private equity backed companies, building an impressive record of delivering shareholder value through numerous business turnarounds, featuring restructuring, growth acceleration and innovation.

My experience with clients as a board level advisor and/or services partner , covers a wide range of industry sectors such as Consumer goods/CPG, Retail (especially grocery/supermarket), Automotive, Financial Services, IT, Telco, Pharma, Utilities, Travel and Hospitality, Quick Serve Restaurants, Luxury Goods, Health & Beauty, Government and Charites.

My specialist experience spans data/digital driven marketing; marketing technology (from start-ups to global enterprise level), CRM and customer loyalty; e-commerce; brand communications; analytics (including machine learning and AI) strategic outsourcing and market research (consumer, brand and retail insight). Many of the related technology solutions were SaaS platforms.

Most recently I have chaired a number of young start-up businesses in the above space and led successful investment rounds for these.

I am a self-starter, looking for advisory and/or NED/Chair roles, and especially motivated by helping to grow businesses that are privately owned or private equity backed, moving to a point of sale
