Bathroom specialist Aqualisa has appointed Joe Brawn as head of product management, leading the company’s product strategy and overseeing the introduction of the company’s new solutions to the UK and international markets.
Reporting to Mike Simpson, product and marketing director, Joe commenced his role at Aqualisa on 1 November, and leads a team of six product managers and executives responsible for managing the company’s extensive bathroom portfolio and developing its long-term product roadmap.

Joe said: “Aqualisa is an inspiring British company with advanced, ground-breaking products and a hugely exciting future vision, so the opportunity to be part of the journey to fulfil this potential was too good to miss. I look forward to driving forward the product strategy to extend the company’s market offering in all channels, and to working with the product management team to deliver best practice and provide a superior customer experience across the product portfolio.
“I am particularly focused on growing Aqualisa’s position as leaders in sustainability and smart digital showers, and providing customers with even more choice in this rapidly-growing category.”
