Marketplace platform for beauty and wellness booking and business management
Fresha operates a two-sided marketplace connecting consumers to beauty and wellness professionals, with a business-software backbone for salon and spa operations. The company is sales-driven (84 active sales roles against 13 engineering) and aggressively expanding globally across 24+ countries, while simultaneously tackling a microservices migration and partner-acquisition challenges that suggest the monolithic booking system has hit scaling limits.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Financial Officer, Head Market Launch, Business Development Lead, Head of Commercial, Security Head
