We are pleased to welcome Mei Ding-Hirschfeld to group.one, where she will lead our Data & AI efforts across the organisation. AI is a strategic priority for group.one. With more than 2 million customers across 15 countries and a portfolio of over 20 brands, we have a significant base of first-party data and deep insight into how small businesses build, manage and grow their online presence. Our ambition is to use this insight responsibly to create more intelligent, contextual and effective digital products for our customers. A recent example is the launch of Aida, our fully AI-enabled website builder, which marks an important step in our transition towards an AI-native platform. In her role, Mei will strengthen our data foundations, advance our analytics capabilities, and accelerate AI adoption across the organisation. Given the strategic importance of Data & AI for group.one, Mei will work closely with our CEO, CIO and CPO to ensure our efforts translate into customer value, product innovation and measurable business impact. Mei joins group.one from Nexi Group, one of Europe’s leading payment technology companies, where she served as VP Data Insights, Analytics and AI. In this role, she led data and AI strategy across multiple European markets, built and scaled international teams, and delivered SaaS and AI/ML products at significant scale. Before Nexi, Mei held senior data and transformation roles at Allianz and served as Managing Director at automotive technology provider InnoMotions. Welcome, Mei! 👋
