30th September 2022: Ben Hood, who spent 20 years as chief executive at global software provider Fourth, has joined foodservice technology company Nutritics as non-executive director.

In his new role, Hood will provide guidance and counsel to Nutritics’ founders, Ciaran and Damian O’Kelly, and its executive team, led by managing director Stephen Nolan, as Nutritics helps hospitality companies unlock the hidden value of food data.
