Ed Smith, Director Creator Marketing at Amazon and NED – Princes Trust Trading Ltd

Ed leads the Amazon Creators team in Europe who introduce customers to the many ways Amazons’ huge selection, low prices and fast delivery can make their lives easier through partnerships with influencers, publishers, comparison sites and other affiliates.

In 2016 Ed moved to London with his family for a change and an adventure. He took a year off and travelled to 100 UK towns and cities, talking with at least 5 people in each place. He blogged his adventure as @talledsmith, writing and filming as he strove to understand the mood of Brexit UK. He spoke at the festival of marketing, gave many boardroom briefings and featured on the cover of marketing week.

He is also a Director of the Prince’s Trust Trading board, supporting the Trust work with 60,000 young people each year to build their skills and confidence for employment or starting their own business. For his joy he loves skiing, gardening and cooking, especially with fire.
