Giffgaff's former CMO-turned-CEO on the legacy of leadership
Sunday, 1 February, 2026

It took 18 months for Ash Schofield to decide it was time to leave Giffgaff. The CMO turned CEO explains that while his team had “positively” disrupted the mobile and broadband market, one thing he hadn’t disrupted enough of late was himself.In this episode of The Marketing Week Podcast, Schofield retraces his steps back to 2013 when, attracted by the “whiff of revolution in the air”, he took on the top marketing role at Giffgaff just three years post-launch.In conversation with deputy managing editor and head of insight Charlotte Rogers, Schofield explains how he made the transition from punchy marketing director and “self-appointed champion of culture” to a CEO focused on co-creating a strong, ethical business with real longevity.
