ABOUT STEVE MORAN

I’m currently Head of Optimisation at Conversio, a CRO agency helping brands make sense of their data and improve how their websites perform. But like many, my path into digital wasn’t traditional. I didn’t go to university, after declining a Criminology place at Brighton after 6 months of travelling. I went straight into retail, starting on the shop floor at The Entertainer and working my way up.I was lucky to have some great managers who backed me and gave me space to grow. As I moved into the ecommerce team, I built up a hands-on education in everything from commerciality, onsite analytics to product management frameworks, SQL, and a few development languages too.Over time, I found my sweet spot in optimisation, where data meets decision-making. I love diving into complex problems, understanding what customers are doing (and why), and turning that into measurable improvements.Outside of work, I’m often still building, whether it’s a reward chart app for my kids, a shopping list helper, or just tinkering with code to solve everyday annoyances. I get a real kick out of making things more efficient, more useful, or just more fun. Now with the help of AI that has become even more rewarding!I’ve been lucky to work on some amazing projects, to be named in the Toy Industry’s Top 30 Under 30 (a while ago now), and to work across a diverse range of sectors. But my proudest achievement by far is being a dad. This comes first, as I work hardest on that forever difficult work life balance we all strive for. I’m so grateful and lucky to work somewhere that supports that balance.
