Launched in 2013 and listed in Tech City UK's Future Fifty, Yieldify makes it easy for any marketer to deliver great experiences that engage and retain customers through a combination of smart and simple technology with expert services. The Yieldify Conversion Platform, launched in February 2017 , has extended this vision, putting the power of Yieldify's technology, which has delivered over 4.5 billion interactions to date, in the hands of the customer.

The launch of the platform, coupled with today's investment, allows Yieldify to continue to significantly scale in the expanding e-commerce market, serving some of the world's most recognisable brands, including Marks and Spencer, Domino's Pizza, Omni Hotels and Anthropologie. Yieldify has achieved a 170% CAGR since its inception.

Giuliani said of his appointment: "The Yieldify product and the team behind it are breaking new ground in the marketing technology space; the recognition that they've received among the clients they work with and the investors they've attracted is well-earned and distinguished. This is shaping up to be an exciting journey that I'm looking forward to being a part of."
