OnBuy appoints marketing director

UK online marketplace OnBuy has recruited Cherie Cook to lead its marketing team.

Cook was most recently with AO where she led its marketing team and has also held senior positions with Thomas Cook and BUPA.

Cas Paton, founder & CEO of OnBuy said: “As a true marketing visionary and a leader of AO’s fantastic marketing to date, Cherie has been there and got the t-shirt! She was the best candidate for OnBuy to fuel our next wave of growth. She’s a forward thinker with a get it done approach – qualities needed to move at the scale we expect.”

This appointment follows that of Julian Browne as CTO to support plans to significantly scale the business over the coming months and years. Browne commented: “I feel I’ve joined OnBuy at a significant and exciting point in its journey, as it breaks free of its start-up roots to become a truly major player in the marketplace sector. I’m looking forward to helping scale the business to even greater heights.”
