COO Melinda Sheppard comments: 'Anna has an excellent track record in the industry and a deep understanding of the data and insights world, coupled with the proven ability to develop new businesses and market opportunities. She's a great choice for the role and we're thrilled to have Anna as part of the Pureprofile family'.
