Navigator strengthens board with appointment of Paul Wright as adviser

IW-backed Navigator has announced the appointment of experienced entrepreneur and business leader, Paul Wright, as an adviser to its Board, marking another important step in the company’s growth journey.

Wright brings over three decades of experience building and scaling some of the advertising industry’s most influential businesses, having held senior leadership roles at Uber, Apple, Amazon, Sky, AOL, Omnicom and Bauer Media.

As Navigator continues to scale its proposition and expand its presence across the media and advertising landscape, the appointment brings additional strategic expertise and commercial experience to the business at a pivotal stage of its development.

Paul Wright has built a distinguished career supporting and scaling high-growth businesses with a track record spanning entrepreneurship and business transformation. His experience in building customer-focused organisations and helping companies navigate periods of rapid growth will provide valuable support to the Navigator team as it enters its next phase.

Navigator has established itself as an innovative player within the media sector, and the addition of Paul Wright further strengthens the business as it continues to execute against its ambitious growth plans. His appointment reflects the company’s commitment to surrounding its leadership team with individuals who can provide both strategic guidance and practical operational insight.

At IW Capital, we believe that ambitious businesses benefit not only from access to capital but also from the right expertise and support network. It is therefore particularly encouraging to see portfolio companies such as Navigator continuing to invest in strengthening their governance and leadership capabilities as they scale.

We would like to congratulate the entire Navigator team on this appointment and look forward to following the company’s continued progress in the months and years ahead.
