A seasoned judge, UK eCommerce SAAS pioneer, Shiran Liyanage, has been synonymous with ‘best practice’ – generating exceptional customer loyalty and sustainable growth by joining the dots across the ecommerce stream, from pre-purchase, to final doorstep delivery and beyond.
A media spokesman and innovator since the very early days of the internet, Shiran has helped found and grow 6 tech innovators, devised and launched over 50 products, both as a serial entrepreneur (he sold his first start-up in his mid-twenties), and in senior roles at brands such as Virgin, Thompson Reuters, Reply and MetaPack. Shiran was the publisher of the UK’s bestselling Internet Shoppers’ Guides series and also instrumental in the setup of IDIS, the industry’s good practice charter for internet shopping delivery introduced by the IMRG, which was based on an award-winning initiative he launched for Virgin (and a trailblazer of today’s platforms such as Shopify and BigCommerce) which helped over 12,000 businesses trade online. Shiran is also a Digital Investment Strategist for Endava plc.
