Who they are
Insight
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Deepa Chauhan is the CRM champion and platform admin at Merriott Lyle Distribution. She runs check-ins and raises tickets, and gates access to the CFO. She is under pressure from directors to show what the Enterprise seats return.
Role: Head of Commercial Systems in Birmingham, CRM role champion, and a platform admin since 28 Feb 2025. She raises most tickets and sets the agenda for check-ins and QBRs.
Influence: she shapes the renewal but does not sign alone. On 26 Feb 2026 she said money goes through her finance lead, and on 7 Aug 2026 she asked that Malcolm Ridgway be kept out for now.
Watch: regional directors and the CFO question usage against 200 licences. Daniel Okafor flagged her as one of the heavy askers, a key-person risk. The renewal is on 28 Feb 2027, and she wants a modest, true value case first.
