Ayda has also appointed Susie Spencer as digital product design consultant, leading product development of Ayda’s platform. She has previously worked at Walmart and SimpleUsability.

Additionally, Laura Lilienthal joins as fractional chief marketing officer. During her 23-year career, she has focused on growing business-to-business software platforms.

Ayda’s software platform is used by research teams to pay incentives to research participants. Founded in 2021, the company is headquartered in London and operates in the UK and the US.

‘Fractional’ roles allow individuals to work for organisations on a part-time or project-based basis.
