Matta (pictured) will focus on building new client relationships in his new role, as well as expanding Rep Data’s strategic sales functions across the US.

In addition, Matta will work with Rep Data’s leadership team to strengthen the company’s presence among enterprise clients.

Prior to taking up his new role, Matta was at Prodege for more than nine years, most recently as vice-president of client development.

Other previous positions include senior director of client development and research solutions at Instantly and manager of client development and research solutions at Research Now (now Dynata). 

The appointment follows Rep Data’s recent acquisition of ReDem and expansion across the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.

Ryan Rothe, chief executive at Rep Data, said: “Rob brings deep industry experience and a strong client-first mindset. He understands how to build lasting partnerships and deliver solutions clients can depend on.

“As demand grows for more rigorous, end-to-end approaches to data quality, Rob will play an important role in helping us scale that impact across the US market.”
