"Trustpilot plays a uniquely important role in today's economy, and that role will only grow as AI becomes more deeply embedded in how consumers discover and evaluate businesses. In a world where AI-generated content is increasingly prevalent, genuine human reviews and transparent trust signals matter more than ever - for consumers making decisions and for businesses that want to earn and demonstrate their credibility. I am delighted to be joining the Board at such an exciting moment in Trustpilot's journey and look forward to contributing to the next chapter of its growth."
