Polly is CMO at Tembo, a fintech startup on a mission to tackle the growing mortgage affordability gap. Polly joined Tembo in early 2021 as part of the founding team, at a time when you could count its employees on one hand. Since then, they've grown to a team of 50, helped their customers increase their budget by an average £82,000 and won the UK's Best Mortgage Broker two years in a row at the British Bank Awards. Polly is a well-known face in the fintech marketing world, and was recognised in the Top 30 Most Influential Marketers in 2023 and 2023 (Barclays Rise). She has gained a reputation as one of the leading experts in the UK's mortgage and housing market, and regularly features on BBC, ITV, Sky News, Channel 5 and other broadcasters.

Now run by the Mayor of London, TAP has raised half a million pounds for youth homelessness charities through engaging over 100,000 Londoners to take action, and also provided hundreds of hours of employment for homeless Londoners.
