About

The RAIS team has a wealth of experience in retail, CRM, analytics and software development.

Meet the leaders:

Will Young

CEO

Will has over 15 years of experience in delivering data-driven insights and CRM projects to both blue chip corporations (Nestle, GSK, Tesco), Large enterprises (The Fragrance Shop), Medium-sized businesses (Sofa.com) and to start ups (Secret Linen Store). All these companies are either consumer goods manufacturers who want to sell more directly to consumers, or retailers of goods and services. He therefore has a deep knowledge of the challenges faced by such businesses, particularly the Marketing departments and their desire to use data to better engage with their customers. He holds a degree in Business and German from the University of Warwick.

A sports-mad, lover of wine, Will loves spending time with his family. Just don’t ask him to sing you a song.
