Who they are
Insight
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Tariq is the platform admin and sole connector owner at Merriott Lyle Distribution. He is a hands-on champion for onboarding, mapping and tickets, but the CFO and Deepa Chauhan carry the renewal decision.
Role: CRM and Data Platform Manager in Birmingham, with an admin platform account created on 2025-02-28. He wires up each connector, works the tickets and runs access and sign-off. He calls himself the bottleneck on both.
Influence: He shapes adoption and data quality, not price. Malcolm Ridgway, the CFO, presses on value and renewal terms, and Tariq's role there is checking mapping and user lists.
Watch: Connector ownership sits with him alone, so a departure or absence is a key-person risk. Recent tickets on the CRM load, orders connector and the 11 Sep 2026 refresh stall all went through him. Webinar and Customer Day invitations drew no reply.
