Douglas Squirrel embarked on his leadership journey as the CTO of financial software firm TIM Group, revolutionizing web application development for major investment banks and hedge funds through agile methodologies.

Notably, TIM Group's recent acquisition by Mergermarket Group is a testament to the impactful work accomplished during his tenure.
After that he was CTO at the flash sales company Secretsales, implementing and improving methods for releasing new features several times a day as well as moving to Amazon Web Services to save £250,000 per year, driving over 50% of revenue from mobile devices using responsive design, and building the first successful flash sales loyalty program in the UK.
Transitioning to the position of VP of Technology at Osper, a pioneering payment card company, Douglas played a pivotal role in fostering financial literacy among kids and parents. Instrumental in achieving remarkable conversion and referral rates, he led a development team that deployed daily features, actively contributed to inventive solutions, and consistently enhanced tools and methodologies.
