Consumer Feedback Platform Native.AI Hires CTO

Real-time consumer feedback and market intelligence platform Native.AI has appointed Mike Jackson as Chief Technology Officer, to drive adoption of the firm's AI-powered solution. This enables clients in food, beverage and CPG sectors to analyze and act on customer feedback.

Native was founded in 2018 as a real-time consumer intelligence provider for Agrifood brands, then expanded into the F&B and CPG industries, including cannabis brands, two years later. Last month, the firm raised $1.75mm in a pre-seed round of funding.

Jackson (pictured) is the CEO of enterprise software consulting services and solutions provider Silver Fin Software, and before this role served as Senior Software Developer at Reinsurance Group of America and Application Architect at the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis. Earlier, he held senior software design / engineering roles at GENBAND, Ventraq and Maritz, having begun his career at AT&T.

Frank Pica, co-founder and CEO of Native.AI, comments: 'Artificial intelligence is reshaping the CPG industry. Deploying software that enables our customers to be at the forefront of that transformation requires a level of expertise that only a lifelong immersion in this technology can bring. Mike's impressive background in technology and data solutions will help us scale our solution and ensure every brand has access to the consumer intelligence it needs to differentiate, grow and win'.
