As part of the changes, Dr Matilda Andersson (pictured), group managing director at Strat7 Crowd DNA, and Paul Jackson, managing director at Strat7 Bonamy Finch, will take on leadership positions in Strat7.ai in addition to their existing roles.

Andersson will be responsible for AI strategy and offer at Strat7.ai, while Jackson will take on AI best practice and change management.

Strat7.ai was set up two years ago to use natural language processing and machine learning to analyse unstructured online data from forums, search, social, review sites, client sales and behavioural data sets. The new roles will be carried out by senior leaders in addition to existing commitments.

Barrie Brien, chief executive at STRAT7, said: “We view AI as intrinsic to our growth strategy in helping our clients predict and act on customer-centric change. 

“Our AI leadership team has big plans with a pipeline of many new products lined up, and the intention to be at the forefront of new technology launches over the coming years.”
