The best ideas often start over a coffee

Verity Digital was founded in 2021 by Derek Rose and Stuart Ogilvie, shaped by their shared experience working inside some of the world's largest and most recognisable organisations.

Over many years, they repeatedly observed a persistent gap between the customer experience organisations expected and what was ultimately delivered. 

Despite significant investment, recognised advisory brands, and strong strategic intent, outcomes often fell short due to a lack of practical execution, accountability, and continuity.

Too often, advice was constrained by vendor alignment or conflicted delivery models rather than what was best for the organisation.

Having experienced this reality first-hand, they set out to build something different.

Drawing on decades of hands-on experience delivering complex commercial, technology, and digital change, Verity Digital was created to bring enterprise-level thinking, delivery discipline, and rigour into a more practical, accessible, and affordable experience for clients. 

The focus is on execution, ensuring that strategy, investment, and intent translate into measurable outcomes.

Along the way, they brought together a highly selective team of senior practitioners, many of whom Derek and Stuart have worked with throughout their careers. The leadership team was further strengthened with the addition of Keith Gibson, whose experience reinforces Verity's focus on disciplined delivery, strong governance, and long-term value.

Verity operates through a collaborative delivery model, leading programmes where required or working alongside client teams to guide implementation and build internal capability. Ownership remains firmly with the client; Verity's role is to provide objective guidance, reduce risk, and accelerate progress, free from vendor or platform bias.

From inception, Verity Digital was designed as a scalable, Investment-backable organisation with the capability, culture, and ambition to disrupt the market, raising expectations for how Digital and Business Growth is delivered.

And today, Verity Digital’s clients continue to return, placing their trust in the same experienced practitioners to support them through successive stages of Growth, Change, and Transformation.
