OVO's Beyond team has been named Digital Team of the Year at the Digital Technology Leaders Awards, recognizing their rapid execution and customer-centric innovation that now benefits over 750,000 customers.
Award-Winning Cross-Functional Team
The award celebrates OVO's fully cross-functional team spanning product, engineering, data, design, and commercial functions. This structure combines startup agility with enterprise scale, allowing the team to focus entirely on delivering tangible value for OVO customers through the Beyond loyalty programme.
