Cint Hires CTO

Cint has added Helene Stafferöd Westerlund as Chief Technology Officer, heading up its global technology objectives as part of its executive team.

Cint's platform automates sample fieldwork and operations, allowing clients to gather insights faster, more cost-effectively and at scale. The firm has sixteen global offices in cities including London, New York, Stockholm, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Barcelona, Tokyo and Sydney.

Stafferöd-Westerlund (pictured) most recently worked as CTO at Swedish Fintech start-up Instantor AB and password security specialist SpecOps Software; and earlier held other management, development and sales positions in the fintech and online gaming industries, including five years as Head of Gaming Platform Engineering at Betsson and eleven at financial infrastructure services firm Euroclear. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Economics and Computer Science from Stockholm University.

In her new role, she will oversee the company's global engineering teams, on tasks including completion of the platform integration initiative which followed the acquisition of P2Sample last year.
Stafferöd-Westerlund joins other C- and EVP-level women leaders at Cint, including Chief HR Officer Johanna Isander, Indie Blackwell and Karine Parsy.

CEO Tom Buehlmann says of the appointment: 'Helene has an impressive track record working in the technology space and she is a passionate leader who loves building successful companies, inspiring people and creating ground-breaking technology products that push the boundaries in their market. Her depth of experience will serve us well as we continue to pursue our technology strategy, bringing fresh thinking to initiatives and ensuring that we further cement our position as the technology backbone of the world's most successful insights companies'.
