Chief Customer Officer

"We are growing at 22% annually, so there is a real challenge to deliver great and, importantly, consistent customer service. So, what we really need is the flexibility to deliver against the objectives of the business. That’s what works for us; DDC can understand and appreciate the challenges but also focus on solutions through adaptability."

Customer Operations Director
