Emma Marchant
Role: CX Advisor
Company: TribeCX
Location: Chalfont St. Peter, England, United Kingdom
Emma is an intuitive and instinctively customer-centric thinker who excels in empathy, naturally walking in the customer’s shoes.
Emma Marchant is an energising, authentic, and collaborative CX leader with 25 years multi-sector experience across retail, agency & third sector. For the last 11 years, Emma has worked for the John Lewis Partnership, most recently in Customer Experience.
A highly creative broad marketeer, with a spike in Customer Experience, Emma is an instinctively customer-centric thinker. She combines data with intuition to develop and deliver compelling, commercially successful, propositions across multiple touchpoints.
Emma’s passion for Customer Experience derives from her genuine care for people. She believes that brand interactions should be human interactions – digital or physical – and they can have an impact on a person’s day, week, month, or even year. Therefore, experiences with brands really make or break an emotional bond and truly great customer experience creates brand advocacy.
Her dedication and enthusiasm motivates & mobilises the people she leads and works with, inspiring people to connect with what matters to them. She is deeply collaborative, sees the strengths in others, and pulls them towards the collective goal, driving results that everyone is proud of.
Other highlights include:
- Emma led John Lewis Partnership’s response to Covid-19, with a significant positive impact on frontline NHS staff, by orchestrating the delivery of ~1900 essential care packages to hospitals across the UK along with fabric for scrubs.
- Emma’s passions, apart from CX, are mindfulness, nutrition, yoga, running, and charity. She accomplished 9 half marathons and the 2019 London Marathon, raising in excess of £11,500.
