After 8 years at Autotrader, Catherine Faiers moves to Moonpig taking on the Chief Operations Officer role.

Catherine Faiers, the Chief Operating Officer at digital automotive marketplace Autotrader, has confirmed she is departing the company to take a senior position with online greeting card and gifting company Moonpig. After an eight-year period at Autotrader, where Faiers played an important role in enabling the firm to maintain its market position in automotive technology, the decision comes from Faiers as in her LinkedIn post “one of the hardest I've ever made.” She further reflected on her time at Autotrader, eight years that honestly feel more like eight minutes. From the same LinkedIn post Faiers stated "Autotrader has been such a huge part of my life - it has been incredible, the opportunity to work with some of the most talented, passionate and values-driven individuals in the UK tech industry!”

"A company with an earned market position, exceptional delivery, and a genuine desire to do the right thing" said Faiers. "It was always going to take something quite exceptional to move me - and this opportunity is exactly that. I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the team at Moonpig, a business with such a strong brand, clear purpose and massive growth potential, including the opportunity to bring joy to its customers every single day. I am really excited to work with another brilliant team of people to help shape the next chapter."

“Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey so far - those around me have made all the difference,” Faiers explained. Faeirs' new post will be with Moonpig, another leading UK tech brand. Moonpig offers a wide range of personalized greeting cards and gift items, all made from sustainable materials and the brand has seen tremendous growth over the past few years as it continues to build on increasing its digital capabilities and expanding its customer reach.
