The AI-based personalised offers platform Network B has recently enhanced its advisory board with the new appointment of Alex Preece, CEO of digital gift card platform Tillo. Alex Preece brings with him a wealth of experience in the fintech retail payments space. He co-founded Tillo in 2016 and in 2010 he also co-founded the first UK daily deals platform which was acquired by MoneySupermarket.com PLC the following year.

“We are pleased to have Alex on board. His success in growing Tillo to become the market leader in digital gift cards means he is best placed to help us navigate our next period of rapid growth at Network B.” says Network B CEO, Brad Blake.

“I have known Brad since Tillo was created, and always admired his passion and drive for creating and growing digital startups. The fact that Brad has now started and proven such impressive growth with Network B, demonstrates clear focus which I wholly applaud. To be able to help Brad as he continues his journey with Network B is a privilege.” says Alex Preece, CEO of Tillo.

This appointment follows a recent investment in Network B from Velocity Capital. Since its inception in 2020, Network B has seen impressive growth. The AI-based personalised offers platform has access to over 40 million customers with over 3.5 million customers using their open-banking & card-linked offers through over 25 publishers and more than 4,500 retail brands. Clients and partners include Next Jump, Perkbox, Endsleigh & Collinson Group. Network B’s plans for the coming year include continued rapid growth, further investment in their proprietary AI-based personalised offers technology and more brand building activity.
