Martin Adams - Chief Innovation Officer (CINO)
Martin has been with Mattress Online from its very early days. It was just a month after forming the idea of Mattress Online that Steve reached out to his brother to create the company’s very first website - and he’s been with the business for over 20 years. Martin loves that moment when he puts his head on the pillow and can drift off into a wonderful night's sleep.
As well as working alongside Steve all these years, Martin has over 23 years of experience as a website developer and UX expert. He’s worked in companies such as IBM, Ericsson and Jisp, as well as under his own company.
Martin’s roles and responsibilities include:
- Looking to new innovations that can help the customer experience
- Mentoring teams to foster an innovative culture
- Managing the process of innovation and change
Martin's skills and accomplishments were celebrated in 2022 when Mattress Online received the E-Commerce 2022 Scale Up award, making it a very proud moment in his career.
He also loves teaching knowledge management on YouTube in his spare time and has recently launched his book explaining the Zettelkasten note-taking method to help everyone from students, teachers and entrepreneurs stay organised and fall in love with learning again.
"I love that I get to work with such a passionate and caring team and know that together we can do something truly remarkable to help our customers get a great night's sleep."
