Data solutions and ESG technology specialist Utopi has bolstered its team with two new senior sales appointments.
Jonathan Thomas (pictured), who has spent the past two decades at Capita, has joined Utopi as head of strategic sales, and John Beattie, another Capita alumnus, has taken on the role of customer propositions adviser.
Jonathan Burridge, CEO and co-founder of Utopi, said: “Jonathan joins us at a pivotal point in our growth journey. His experience in creating step change growth in a complex environment, whilst helping clients maximise the value, is exactly why we are delighted to welcome him to our award-winning team. We’re excited to see the impact he will make for both Utopi and our amazing partners.
“John is a highly trusted advisor who will lead our efforts in developing simple, scalable and ROI-driven propositions for our clients and partners. Having worked with the business for the past three years, John will now be directly working with the growth team and the wider executive team to create innovative propositions which drive business growth. We’re delighted to have him in this new role.”
Ben Roberts, CMO and co-founder of Utopi, added: “There is a real buzz about these new appointments, and it will add rigour to our current approach to sales. We’re all excited to see what’s ahead for Utopi and with Jonathan and John on board, we have a big year ahead of us.”
Thomas said: “It feels great to join such a motivated, talented and committed team. I’ve been watching Utopi grow with real interest, and after moving on from my purposeful role at Capita, it meant a lot to me to join a business with such meaningful goals. What better than prioritising people and planet! And I’m really looking forward to creating positive outcomes in this role.”
