Infogroup Hires Former Client as Chief Product Officer

In the US, data and marketing solutions provider Infogroup has appointed former client Rohan Chandran as Chief Product Officer, charged with leading the company's data strategy and products.

Infogroup's solutions are driven by its proprietary business and consumer databases, supplemented by client and third party data. Its cloud-based Data Axle technology enables real-time updates to its business and consumer data files, and also provides clients with a real-time API delivery platform.

Chandran (pictured) joins from shopping rewards app Shopkick, where as Chief Product and Technology Officer he led the development of a real-time data platform and the introduction of new product lines, while overseeing product management and other areas including analytics and data science. Before this, he served as VP and GM of Mobile and Analytics at an Infogroup client, location-based services specialist Telenav; and Head of Consumer Products at another Infogroup client, YP. Earlier, he was Senior Director, Product Management at Experian Interactive, and he led a product management team at Yahoo!

Infogroup Chairman and CEO Michael Iaccarino comments: 'Rohan knows our datasets and knows how our customers think - because he was one. He will lead our effort to enable our clients to make better business decisions in real-time. On a personal level, he is one of the most personable technologists I've met and a great fit for our culture'.
