HICX Strengthens Senior Leadership Team to Accelerate Growth
Senior sales and marketing appointments reinforce HICX’s focus on trusted supplier data and enterprise-scale supplier management
LONDON, 17 February 2026 — HICX, the supplier management platform of choice for leading global organisations, today announced two senior leadership appointments as part of its continued growth strategy. The company welcomes Michael Fulthorpe as Senior Vice President of Sales and Carly Spicer as Vice President of Marketing.
Michael and Carly join CEO Dafydd Llewellyn, who assumed the role last September, as part of a planned series of executive leadership hires designed to support HICX’s next phase of growth.
“HICX is making deliberate investments to support our long-term ambition to be the most trusted supplier management solution globally,” said Dafydd Llewellyn, CEO of HICX. “We are building on a strong foundation, with customers including EDF, Baker Hughes, Mondelēz, Mars, Unilever and Johnson & Johnson. As supplier ecosystems become more complex and fragmented, organisations need confidence in their supplier data and processes.”
Carly Spicer brings more than 20 years of experience leading global go-to-market strategies, demand generation programmes and high-performing marketing teams. She has held senior roles at leading technology companies, including Plantronics (HP Poly) and Tech Data, and brings deep expertise across marketing operations, pipeline development and post-acquisition integration. In her role, Carly will focus on strengthening market positioning and aligning marketing execution with HICX’s commercial growth objectives.
Michael Fulthorpe joins HICX with extensive experience in enterprise software sales, having held senior roles at Autodesk, insightsoftware, IRIS and Sage. He will lead global sales strategy and execution, expanding HICX’s reach while supporting customers as they evolve supplier management across systems, functions and regions.
Together, Carly and Michael will help HICX customers address one of the most persistent challenges facing large organisations today: fragmented supplier data spread across procurement suites, ERPs and point solutions, which limits productivity, increases risk and slows decision-making.
“In many enterprises, supplier information exists in silos, making it difficult to operate efficiently or with confidence,” said Michael Fulthorpe. “HICX provides the foundation for consistent, trusted supplier data that supports better governance, stronger supplier relationships and better outcomes across compliance, risk management and operational performance.”
HICX’s platform is designed to work across the enterprise, integrating with existing systems and enabling collaboration with suppliers over time. By establishing trusted supplier data as a shared foundation through onboarding, HICX helps organisations improve visibility, reduce cycle times, strengthen compliance and manage supply chain risk at scale.
“It’s an exciting moment for HICX,” said Carly Spicer. “We have strong leadership, a clear strategy and a platform that addresses real, structural challenges for complex organisations. Our focus is on building from our strengths – enabling trusted supplier data, enterprise-scale operations and deep customer partnership – as we bring HICX to more organisations facing similar pressures.”
As HICX continues to grow, the expanded leadership team remains focused on delivering best practices and scalable solutions to help global enterprises manage suppliers with confidence and consistency.
