Verian makes leadership changes

UK – Research, evaluation and communications agency Verian has made several alterations to its senior leadership team, including appointing Haroldas Brozaitis as global chief AI and transformation officer.

Boardroom

Brozaitis was previously chief executive at Verian Lithuania, and in his new role will lead the expansion of the company’s AI and data capability.

Craig Watkins, currently UK chief executive, will move into a new role as chief executive of the European Union and Multilateral Institutions (EUMI) team as well as retaining his position in the UK.

The new role will see Watkins take responsibility for Verian’s Brussels and Vilnius offices in addition to the UK.

The changes to Watkins’ role mean that Ben Humberstone will become managing director for the UK market, having previously been head of population studies.

Humberstone will be replaced as head of population studies by Ed Dunn, who has been senior director for population studies at the firm since 2022.

Gareth Schnehage will also join Verian as chief finance officer, having worked at the company in an interim basis since last year.

Philippa Edward, global chief executive at Verian, said: “I am delighted to announce a number of leadership changes which I am confident will accelerate the impact of our work and support our ability to offer ever increasing value to our customers.”
