After 11 years with Diageo he moved to the retail sector, first as marketing director of Tesco for eight years, before switching to chocolate brand Thorntons in 2007.
Wright joined Ikea as UK country marketing director in 2011 and, after rising through the ranks, was promoted to CMO in October 2018. Wright was thought to be the first British person to lead Ikea’s UK marketing team.
