team
Rich O’Brien
CEO
Rich is an experienced digital marketer with a love for music and all things digital. After joining Newicon in 2013 as an administrator and glorified office tea boy, Rich found his passion for digital marketing and soon formed the digital marketing department now known as Flex Digital. Since then he has taken the team from strength to strength, developing new services, building long-lasting client and partner relationships and working on training and consultancy programmes. His short sabbatical to companies such as SunLife helped him see what life was like in both client-side and agency-side roles, bringing in the learnings from both and applying these to the day to day running of Flex Digital. Outside of work, he still enjoys creating and writing music, playing gigs, gaming and spending time with family and friends. Oh and he can also clap with one hand… so that solves that age old question…
Chloe Wheeler
Head of Agency
With over 15 years of Management roles in Sales, Marketing and Operations Chloe is our head of agency here at Flex. With first hand experience of how people, processes and strategy align for high revenue growth, she straddles the line between sales and marketing and delivery, ensuring that everything we deliver to our clients is on time and on budget.
Outside of work Chloe enjoys a strange collection of extreme opposites in activities. Weight training and yoga, listening to Classical and Rock music, solo hiking and then meeting up with her big family for get togethers.
