 In October 2010 Joel Curry was appointed as Managing Director of Experian QAS, UK and Ireland. Joel will play a key role in growing the Experian QAS business. He brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served as Chief Operating Officer of Experian QAS North America, the company’s senior executive for all strategic business decisions in the United States and Canada.

Joel joined Experian QAS in 1997 as a Sales Account Manager in the London-based operations. In 2000, he relocated to Boston to set-up the US sales operation where he successfully built the first sales team. Joel became VP of Eastern Sales in 2003 developing a solid sales presence on the East Coast by signing up over 150 customers in two years. In 2005, Joel was appointed VP of Business Development with direct responsibility for building the healthcare and government markets and the strategic alliances team, as well as expanding sales into Canada. He took over North American Operations in 2007 growing the business 71 percent in the last two years.

Prior to Experian QAS, Joel Curry worked in sales at ATI Technologies. Joel earned a degree in Human Physiology from the University of Birmingham in Birmingham and a MBA from City University Business School in London.

In April 2007, Jonathan Hulford-Funnell took the position of Group Operating Officer at Experian QAS, having spent the previous 7 years building up the business in Australia and the US. On his return to the UK, Jonathan spent time listening to customers and looking at their data quality needs and what they wanted from Experian QAS. He worked with his management team to grow the company’s core proposition to deliver valuable software that takes advantage of the growing data quality space. A new company strategy was developed, leading to the creation of what is now termed ‘Contact Data Management’ or CDM. CDM encompasses eight data quality activities – capture and clean (traditional address management functions), data audit, standardisation, matching, enhancement, suppression and authentication (ID Management).

Aside from his role in re-energising the UK Business, Jonathan has led a number of other company initiatives. As part of our customer loyalty programme, for example, he appointed one of his Directors to each of the key customers so that they had additional support outside of their day to day account management team.
 
Jonathan now leads Experian’s Marketing Services division in the EMEA region. His focus is on achieving revenue growth in both existing and emerging territories and he continues to manage Experian QAS globally.
