AI is the secret sauce to our Finance, Legal and Risk team’s success. 🤫 They’ve been boosting productivity and taking a deeper look into our financial data with a little help from tools like ChatGPT, freeing up a lot more time to focus on strategy and the work that really drives impact. Here’s how you can jump on the AI train too... 1) Say yes to automation: Start by pinpointing routine tasks that take up a lot of time. Leaving these to AI can lead to a boost in productivity straight away. 2) Invest in your team: Making sure your team is properly trained and comfortable using ChatGPT will help them leverage the tool's capabilities, including effective prompting techniques to get the most accurate and useful responses. 3) Clean up your act: To truly harness the power of ChatGPT, you'll need to provide access to the right data. This means integrating comprehensive, up-to-date, clean data sets that are updated regularly to reflect the latest information. 4) Secure your data: Keep your security measures up to scratch and make sure ChatGPT complies with all your company’s data protection policies. Enterprise ChatGPT is our choice. 5) The limit does exist: ChatGPT is a powerful tool, but it has its limitations. It can’t access live data, has biases inherited from training, could lead to potential errors and is dependent on relevant prompts. Human oversight is key to review and validate the insights. Hungry for more? FP&A Analyst Katie Ho takes a deeper dive into how Gousto's Finance, Legal and Risk team harness the power of AI.

Sustainability champions Abigail Ryan and Pippa Robinson are Co-Founders of the Gousto Sustainability Club. Hugely passionate about the subject, they launched the club to encourage more learning and bring even more sustainable practices into the daily life of working at Gousto. Their regular roundtable sessions cover food waste at home, sustainable diets, carbon footprinting, slow fashion and some rather surprising sustainability facts... Did you know that Peanut shells can provide enough power to keep an entire town in Argentina running?🥜 The team is also shining a light on our amazing suppliers who are a huge part of our sustainability story at Gousto. We've hosted awesome talks from our friends over at Tony's Chocolonely and from the Peanut Butter people at ManiLife | B Corp™ who spoke this week about building a company with a long term view on impact and real benefits for their community. Let's continue to inspire and be inspired, drive positive change and champion sustainability in everything we do. 💪🌿

At MAD//FEST today, Anna Greene VP Customer shared her insights on building a brand in a technology led world. Some snackable insights from the session: ⭐ Gousto is a data company that loves food. We marry IQ (data and technology) with EQ (deep understanding of the customers, our passion for food and our brand). Both are key ingredients for success. ⭐ A clear brand positioning gives a north star from which to shape your product strategy. It gives a common language to align people around. The most successful companies are those that can seamlessly align brand and product strategy. ⭐ Creativity allows tech companies to break out of the conventional moulds; reshaping consumer expectations and setting new standards for what’s possible. And you can catch Carlie Wittred Head of Brand Marketing and PR at Mad//Fest later in the week chatting all things Influencer Marketing.

It's been an incredible pride month at Gousto! The mission of Gousto Pride is to improve the experience of LGBTQ+ Goustonians and customers, and we do this with three key initiatives: Creating: a supportive & empowering space Inspiring: all Goustonians to learn more about LGBTQ+ issues and become allies Identifying: opportunities to solve key issues and helping the business take action This month we hosted: 🥚 Our first ever Pride Sports Day: Creating an empowering space for LGBTQ+ Goustonians and allies. Think egg and spoon race rather than 100m and high jump. 💅 Drag Realness with Sophia Stardust: A special Q&A between Timo Boldt and the fierce drag artist Sophia Stardust, where we learnt more about LGBTQ+ issues and the importance of allyship. 🎉 Pride Party Social: A sizzling social, celebrating the rights of LGBTQ+ humans. We’ve also been supporting akt charity who provide routes to safe housing, support and secure futures for LGBTQ+ young people. We’re proud of all the progress made so far, but our work at Gousto continues to bring us closer to our overall Pride mission.

Last month, we were delighted to announce our 2023 financial results, with record profitability driven by our investments in market-leading technology. 🎉 Now we want to step behind the scenes, and recognise the amazing team work that went into reporting the results. There were many crucial ingredients in this complex recipe, from the Finance, Legal and Risk team right through Sustainability and Creative. Our CFO Jim Buckle reflects on the process, showcasing just how much collaboration is required to get something like this off the ground. The process is the perfect example of Gousto's ownership principle of making 1+1=3. 🙌 Read the article here 👇

Think about food. Cook food. Eat food. Repeat.
I wake up at 8 am. Eat breakfast at 8:30 am. Look at several pictures of food before 10 am. By 11 am I’m ready for lunch. Think about dinner until 6 pm. Eat dinner at 7 pm. I’m thinking about breakfast by 10 pm. I could lie and pretend I think about other things all day. But I’m fuelled by purpose. And leisure. And food.

Today we are celebrating the ‘Day of Joe’… 10 years since the amazing Joe Quinlivan joined Gousto. 🎉🎉🎉 When Joe joined us back in 2014, the world of Gousto looked very different... for starters the Customer Care (CC) team was just two people. Our customers loved him so much, they'd call up specifically wanting to chat to Joe even years later. Today Joe heads up an award-winning team of 40 brilliant CC agents, leading with passion, dedication and always a huge care for our customers. 🙌 Joe has played a huge role in getting Gousto to where we are today, which is why we surprised the whole company with a day of celebrations to mark the occasion. Cake anyone? 🎂 🎂
