Who they are
Insight
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Emma Kirkup is the CRM and Data Manager and CRM admin at Kielderside Growth Agency. She joined three calls, is wary of who sees grant assessments, and is a single point of knowledge. Her comfort on architecture depends on a written paper on roles.
Role: CRM and Data Manager in Newcastle upon Tyne, recorded as a CRM admin. The record shows four calls, no email threads, no tickets and no deals. She attended the discovery, the demo and the security review.
Influence: she shapes the access and governance questions rather than holding the budget. Lesley Charlton said budget is Keith's. Emma said she is comfortable on architecture subject to a written paper on roles, and wants her governance colleagues to read it first.
Watch: at discovery she was described as a single point of knowledge, which is a key-person risk. At the 4 Aug 2026 security review she raised permissions and user trust, and noted the grants system may be hard to connect and that Snowflake roles need tidying first. She owes BG-Demo a view on what the grants system can export.
