Glu is delighted to announce a new executive leadership team following a significant investment.
The appointments mark the next phase of an agreed international scale-up plan, shaped by in-depth engagement with clients and underpinned by a Connectus investment.
The strengthened leadership bench reflects surging global demand for always-on, AI-driven service delivery, and positions Glu to accelerate its growth trajectory across new and existing markets.
The investment builds on Connectus’ backing of Glu Digital announced in June 2026, which saw the formation of Digital Connect Group and Glu Digital’s acquisition of wireless surveying specialist Colander Technology, bringing together complementary businesses under a shared growth strategy while preserving Glu’s channel-only model.
