Xupes
Non-Executive Chair
Xupes is a leading UK e-commerce business, specialising in the sale of pre-owned luxury goods. In early 2017 the business entered into a partnership with a growth capital investor and has received capital to enable it to commence its next phase of growth. As a result, Xupes was looking for a commercially astute Non-Executive Chair who had a strong marketing and e-commerce background, who would act as a sounding board for the Directors and provide guidance on all aspects of the company’s strategy.
Through Nurole they appointed Peter Reid, Founder and CEO of private-equity backed, international marketing communications group, MSQ Partners. Peter has extensive digital marketing and e-commerce experience and he's the former CEO of Media Square Plc and former Chairman of Illuminas Ltd.
