In his new role Scionti is responsible for technology “vision and strategy”, the company said.

Chief operating and financial officer Simon Marlow said: “[Scionti] has a very deep level of expertise in using technology to reshape businesses as well as increase the power of marketing.”

He left Harris in May, according to his Linkedin profile, the same month Al Angrisani was brought in to advise on a turnaround strategy for the firm.
