Former Fanatics senior engineering manager Christian Bridge-Harrington has joined expanding recruitment data and technology business Venn to lead the evolution of the Vennture platform.
Bridge-Harrington, who joins as director of engineering, said: “Venn is at a really exciting point in its growth with huge potential. I wanted to be a part of the team driving this and felt I could bring some relevant experience to the table. Having previously led an engineering team for a global eCommerce platform, I felt I could bring this experience into the recruitment industry, providing fresh ideas and an eCommerce way of thinking.”
As Venn continues to cement itself as a product business, the new hire aims to further stability and provide greater focus and structure for the product team. Bridge-Harrington brings experience as a developer, engineer and team leader to guide Venn and Vennture.
Brian Whigham, founder of Venn, said: “As Venn continues to learn from eCommerce principles, we were keen to find someone from outside the recruitment industry with experience working on scaling technology to support the wider team and Vennture roadmap.”
“It’s important that we continue to bring industry professionals on board that can challenge the norm and deliver progression for the recruitment industry. Christian’s impressive background and exposure to successful eCommerce platforms made him the perfect fit for this role.”
