Beth Horn on Leaders & Founders
4 March 2025
In this episode of Leaders & Founders, we’re joined by the incredible Beth Horn, UK Managing Director at Pinterest - one of the world’s most inspiring and fastest-growing digital platforms.
Beth is a true powerhouse in the tech and digital space. Her impressive career spans major players like Meta, Spotify, and search-driven commerce, all leading up to her current role at Pinterest UK. As Managing Director, Beth is spearheading commercial growth, partnerships, and innovation, helping businesses, creators, and users unlock the full potential of the platform.
Outside of her professional achievements, Beth is a passionate fan of music and theatre, with sunny Scotland holding a special place in her heart. We had the pleasure of recording this episode from her beautiful whiskey room at her London home - an inspiring setting that matched the energy of our conversation perfectly. Her hospitality was matched only by the incredible Home DIY inspiration around every corner!
Unlike traditional social media, Pinterest is a place for planning, not just scrolling. With over half a billion monthly users, Pinterest continues to thrive while other platforms face stagnation, proving that people crave a positive, forward-thinking digital experience.
Just a few reasons why Pinterest is so powerful:
Pinterest isn’t just about inspiration. It’s about taking action. Users come with clear intent, and with Pins having a lifespan of 6–12 months, content has staying power far beyond the fleeting nature of other social channels.
We go deep with Beth on:
✅ What makes Pinterest fundamentally different from traditional social media
✅ The secret behind Pinterest Predicts - an 80% accurate trend report shaping industries globally
✅ The future of digital discovery and commerce and why Pinterest is leading the charge
✅ How to build high-performing teams and foster a winning culture
✅ What’s next for Pinterest in 2025 (hint: Cherry Red and Fisherman Aesthetic are just the beginning!)
If you're in tech, e-commerce, social media, or leadership, this episode is packed with insights, strategies, and inspiration you won’t want to miss.
🎙 Tune in now to hear Beth’s incredible story, gain exclusive insight into the future of Pinterest, and get ahead of the trends before they even happen.
Testimonials
Gathered & Found were able to deliver a great, experienced, culturally right fit for what we were looking for at FreeMarketFX covering a whole range of Service Design, User Experience, Front and Back end Engineers. This enabled us to scale our team capability very quickly, something we would not have been able to do ourselves. The team supplied were heavily motivated and experienced within the Fintech space and have helped deliver some great outcomes. I would definitely recommend the G&F calibration.
Greg Sherwin
CIO & CTO FreeMarketFX
I’ve been partnering with Gathered & Found while working for several companies now and I have systematically been impressed by their responsiveness, flexibility, overall ease to work with, forward thinking and the consistent level of their engineers and consultants. It has been a real pleasure working with them over the last years.

Gathered & Found have completely changed how we approach delivering our most critical projects. We usually have to wait 6 weeks for skilled engineers and delivery managers, but with G&F that timeframe has been turned on its head. Not only do they provide incredible consultants that deliver great work, but they find great culture-fits and their team understand exactly what we need for each engagement.

As Founders who have never built a mobile app before, Gathered & Found were incredible at taking us through the entire process and making it very understandable from the outset. They supported us with complete app design, user experience and app development, and delivered an incredible product that will completely change our loyalty and rewards capability. Their Engagement team were also brilliant at keeping us updated with all developments and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the final product. We highly recommend them to any F&B or Retail businesses that need a supportive and amazing tech partner.

Founder, Burger & Beyond
We brought in Gathered & Found for a critical engagement that required highly talented engineers. Our previous consulting partners had done a decent job, but were struggling with the complexity of delivering the initiative at scale in a regulated environment. The G&F squad that we received was extremely high bar and allowed us to keep in-line with our roadmap and ultimately delivered a great piece of work ahead of schedule and under budget. We are very pleased to have them as part of our wider partner team

Gathered & Found have consistently exceeded our expectations with regards to delivering talented consultants that genuinely understand our business and mission. Their consultants are very well versed in our way of doing things and hit the ground running straight away. They have enabled us to deliver a number of high priority projects over the past 3 years, largely due to their ability to rapidly deploy great consultants into our teams and projects extremely quickly
