  • Brought experimentation in‑house from agency, saving ~ÂŁ100k annually and embedding A/B testing, using Kameleoon, as a core Digital capability for Direct Line for Business.

  • Reduced prominence of the paper documents opt-in across Van and SME quote & buy journeys, driving a 95% decrease in opt-ins, delivering ~ÂŁ40k annual savings with no negative impact on conversion.

  • Helped set up our London User Research Suite, giving us a space to really listen to customers and learn what works, and where we can improve, across our journeys. Ran multiple moderated sessions early on with customers to lead by example.
