    By 2020, Lindsay Forster stepped aboard to redefine the client and user offering. She rebranded and revamped the product suite in 2021, focusing on the Retail, Consumer Goods, and Media sectors. Following this, Shepper effectively raised more capital from both existing investors and new partner, Centerbridge.
