Paul
Background:
I became the Founder and Chief Nerd at SumFactors in 2014 having spent 15 years at Microsoft. I worked on many incredible projects, including travelling out to Sudan whilst the country was in Civil war, and working with the United Nations on an updated refugee registration system.
The digital marketing landscape may have changed in that time, but our ethos of honesty, providing the best tools, and basing our success on your success, has not.
Favourite things:
Lucy & Henry (to start the dog theme) Photography, and all things nerd.
What I wanted to be when I was younger:
An Architect – loved the technical drawings.
Karen
Background:
My technical career started at Microsoft, I left the corporate world and found myself representing Great Britain on the 24hr ultra team. Single mum, full-time work and full-time training is a challenge, but winning a 250-mile race on no sleep and then watching my daughter at her dance show was a stand-out memory. Of course – she did whisper on the coach that I smelt like death.
Favourite things:Â
Bella, Max and soon-to-arrive Hovis (to continue the dog theme) My Family and Mountains.
What I wanted to be when I was younger:Â
In the Army, I think ‘Private Benjamin’ was a fav movie at the time.
Chris
Background:
My name’s Chris and I’ve been a web tech enthusiast for the majority of my life. My professional journey on the Internet started 2 years ago when I made a U-turn from my career in the Hotel industry to Web Development and Digital Marketing.
I love the flexibility of the Internet, the possibility to exercise my creativity online and constantly tackle new challenges.
Favourite things:
I’m a big fan of the outdoors and a veteran cinephile that has spent a significant amount of time in cinemas.
What I wanted to be when I was younger:
As a kid, I always wanted to be an actor. Rhotacism, a mild lisp and lack of talent, unfortunately stood in the way!
Lydia
Background:
I have a degree in fashion marketing and experience in sports marketing across the entire marketing function. From sponsorship & partnerships, to social media marketing, to advertising campaigns. I love that marketing allows me to create beautiful things that serve a purpose, and are accessible for everyone.
Favourite things:Â
Fashion, Music, Food and The Great Outdoors
What I wanted to be when I was younger:Â
A Flamenco Dancer – kinda still do!
Lucy
Background:
Lucy is our trusted HR Director, all holidays and bonuses need to be approved by Lucy so she is always very well looked after with treats and general pampering.Â
Favourite things:Â
Anything someone else has got, nose nibbling, and Paul.
What I wanted to be when I was younger:Â
Forever a puppy, and at 12 years old she very much still is.
