WeDiscover Welcomes 3 Additions to Leadership Team
WeDiscover Welcomes 3 New Additions to Leadership Team
WeDiscover strengthens leadership team, welcoming new Executive Chair, Managing Director, and Director of Data
New appointments to the WeDiscover leadership team – joining to work alongside existing co-founders Byron Tassoni-Resch (CEO) and Adam Ruaux (CTO) – mark a pivotal moment in the growth journey, with each bringing extensive expertise to an ongoing expansion, as WeDiscover continues to serve clients with industry-leading performance marketing solutions.
Why We’re Expanding Our Leadership Team
WeDiscover’s growth over the past year has been remarkable. It is currently seen by Google as one of the fastest growing agencies in the UK, and over the last few months alone has been recognised by industry awards at an international level, with wins at the Global & European Search Awards. This rapid expansion has presented exciting opportunities, and the leadership team is scaling to support WeDiscover’s trajectory.
Adding a strong executive layer enables the team to provide enhanced support to a growing client base, tackle new challenges, and continue releasing the best-in-class solutions that have become synonymous with WeDiscover projects. This expanded leadership structure will enhance WeDiscover’s ability to deliver world-class results for clients across all sectors.
Introducing New Executive Chair, Paul Mead
Paul joins WeDiscover with over 25 years of digital and growth experience/ scaling high-performing companies, holding a former role as Chief Strategic Advisor at Jellyfish and a current role leading marketing for Vitruvian Partners, working with C-Suite execs across a £12 billion portfolio of global scale ups.
Paul sees paid search as an entirely mature channel that still represents the largest area of investment in terms of digital ad spend, and expects it to become ever more important as we adjust to the signal loss of the new digital ecosystem. He joins WeDiscover with an enthusiasm for bringing the craft and innovation back to areas like this – where he believes many large advertisers often incorrectly assume there is limited headroom.
"WeDiscover are at a really exciting phase in their growth, they have a great team, a great sense of momentum and a mission to show the world that new standards can be set in performance marketing."
Paul Mead
Welcoming New Managing Director, Chris Watson-Shaw
Bringing cutting-edge performance marketing experience from both an agency and in-house background, Chris joins as former VP, Growth Marketing at Lyst, having also previously led digital strategy for NIKE EMEA and Virgin Travel Group at Forward3D. Chris will be pivotal in maintaining high standards of client servicing, operational efficiency and team growth at WeDiscover. He will play a crucial role in our on-going expansion plans, whilst pushing the boundaries of performance marketing and technology.
"Having known Byron and the team for a number of years and seen what WeDiscover has achieved in such a short time it was an obvious choice to join them on their journey. The agency melds the best minds across data science and digital marketing, building novel solutions to commercial problems every marketer wishes they could answer. I'm really excited to be a part of this project and shape the new generation of digital agencies."
Chris Watson-Shaw
Presenting New Director of Data, Antonio Lima
With a background in building award-winning data solutions and scaling analytics teams in high-growth tech environments (such as Carwow, Deliveroo, and Cazoo), Antonio brings a wealth of expertise in leveraging data to drive impactful outcomes. While his career has been anchored in marketing analytics, he has also led product, e-commerce, and commercial analytics teams – experience that provides him with a comprehensive view of business dynamics. Antonio will draw on his decade of in-house experience to lead WeDiscover’s analytics and data science functions, ensuring clients receive tailored, high-impact data initiatives that drive incremental growth and align with broader business goals.
"WeDiscover has accomplished remarkable growth in under five years. Having worked with Adam and Byron in previous roles, I’ve observed their journey from the sidelines, and now I’m eager to contribute to what we can achieve together. The agency’s commitment to data, technology, and genuine innovation is unparalleled; the significant impact WeDiscover has made on clients and the numerous awards we’ve earned truly speak for themselves. I am excited to embrace the challenge of leading the data team and continuing to foster a forward-thinking culture."
