appointment of Katharine Lewis a non-executive director.
Katharine Lewis has more than 20 years' experience in senior
roles in the media and technology industries, across the UK, US and
Asia.
After starting as a journalist, Katharine was hired into a
management role at Bloomberg in New York. Following considerable
success there, Katharine worked at several digital media start-ups,

President Strategy and Operations for Fremantle Digital and Branded
Entertainment worldwide.
In 2016 Katharine left Fremantle to create FutureSmartMedia, a
media consulting business which advises some of the industry's
leading content distributors, publishers and producers. Katharine
has an MBA from INSEAD business school, sits on several boards, and
supports the young people's charity The British Youth Council.
John Quinlan, Chief Executive Officer of Iconic Labs, said :
"The role of non-executive directors is very important both in
helping Iconic Labs to grow, and ensuring that there is proper
oversight of the company and its management responsibilities,
controls and performance. We are delighted that Katharine has
agreed to join the board, as not only will her seniority and
experience help us further improve our corporate governance, but we
will also be able to benefit from her considerable sector
experience and contacts. Few others can combine having been at the
hard end of both traditional and new digital media with leaders in
the fields. She also understands both technology and the process of
taking start-ups and early stage companies and helping them grow
into serious businesses. We look forward to working with her to
help Iconic Labs become one of the leaders in this very exciting
field."
Katharine Lewis said: "Having watched what the team achieved at
UNILAD, I am very excited to work with them at Iconic Labs to help
them execute on their very exciting plans. In my view, the role and
reach of digital media is still at an early stage compared to what
it is capable of achieving, and that presents a rare opportunity
for the emergent players in the sector. I look forward to helping
Iconic Labs becoming one of the leaders in this very exciting
field." https://uk.linkedin.com/in/katharinealewis
