hedgehog lab appoints commercial director
Global digital product consultancy hedgehog lab has appointed Derek Gibb as commercial director to spearhead its expansion in Scotland, with the launch of a new Edinburgh hub.
Derek will play a key role in creating 100 new jobs in the region over the coming years.
The move builds on hedgehog lab’s successful hub & spoke growth model, which includes offices in Newcastle, London and Leeds.
The Edinburgh hub aims to deepen the company’s ties within Scotland’s growing tech sector.
With 18 years of experience in digital innovation, Derek will lead new business development, strategic partnerships and go-to-market strategy to support hedgehog lab’s ongoing global growth.
He said: “What excited me most about hedgehog lab was the opportunity to help shape the next phase of growth.
“From the very first conversation, the culture stood out – ambitious, open and genuinely supportive.
“It’s rare to find a team that combines commercial drive with such a strong sense of trust and collaboration, and I knew this was a place where we could do brilliant things together.”
