Co-op appoints head of insight and research
The Co-op has bolstered its data, digital and loyalty team by appointing Nick Meagher to the newly created role of head of insight and research.
The move follows a refresh of the Co-op’s membership programme and launch of the Co-op app last year.
Reporting directly to Charlotte Lock, the Co-op’s director of data, digital and loyalty, Meagher will be responsible for driving the group’s membership ambitions. This will include taking on insight and research leadership for the Co-op’s food, insurance, Funeralcare, legal, community and membership functions.
Lock said: “Nick is a first-class insight and research leader and his focus on purpose aligns with our Co-operative values and vision of co-operating for a fairer world.
“Thanks to his loyalty club experiences, Nick will play an instrumental part in helping us to supercharge our membership commitments, as well as make meaningful differences to the lives of our members and communities.”
Meagher will join the Co-op in September after previously working as Tesco’s head of customer insight. His CV also includes stints in global insight leadership roles with Unilever and Mondelez International.
Meagher said: “For me, joining the Co-op is a great opportunity to be part of what must be one of the original, and certainly most enduring, purpose led businesses, founded long before the term was even coined.”
