Citizen Ticket has appointed former Skyscanner executive Carolyn Jameson as its new chair.
Her two decades of leadership experience within the technology sector include six years as chief legal officer at Skyscanner, where she oversaw its sale to Chinese travel giant Ctrip for £1.4bn in 2016.
In 2019, Jameson joined Trustpilot, where she currently serves as chief trust officer, having recently led it through a successful IPO. She also serves on the boards of the Scottish National Investment Bank and Scottish Equity Partners.
Founded in 2013, Edinburgh-headquartered Citizen Ticket provides a ticketing and booking platform for event organisers. The company’s cloud-based self-service software lets its clients generate online payments for ticket sales, manage customers and capture data. As well as handling customer service, Citizen Ticket also provides on-site support and assists with event marketing.
The company is on track to exceed £6.2m in transactional volume in the current financial year, which is forecast to rise to more than £18m by 2025.
Co-founder and chief executive Harry Boisseau said: “Carolyn is a highly skilled and experienced operator within the global tech sector and a key player who has helped scale major technology businesses to reach their full market potential.
“She brings real substance to our team and will be a major contributing factor to our future success and growth.”
Jameson added: “I’m excited to join the team at Citizen Ticket, a company with an innovative, technology-driven offering that is addressing key challenges facing event organisers while enhancing the experience for consumers.
“Along with its focus on improving service delivery and customer experience, I also share and support Citizen Ticket’s commitment towards sustainability which sits at the heart of its ambitious vision.”
