Ascribe Co-founder Baylis to Retire

Voxco has announced that Charles Baylis, co-founder and former CTO of its subsidiary Ascribe, is to retire. He will continue to serve as an advisor to Voxco CEO Daniel Graff-Radford.

Baylis co-founded Ascribe in 1999 as an SaaS platform to simplify and speed up the coding of open-ended answers, as well as improving accuracy - the solution now includes AI Coder, which uses Large Language Models and other natural language processing technologies.

He was instrumental in Ascribe's acquisition by Voxco in 2024, backed by Terminus Capital Partners, and the company says he has 'played a central role in integrating Ascribe's customer-centric culture and innovations into Voxco's broader mission, ensuring that Ascribe's legacy continues to thrive within the combined organization.'

'Charles has been a true innovator in the research space,' comments Graff-Radford. 'His early belief in the power of cloud-based platforms and AI-driven analytics helped shape not only how coders analyze data but how organizations uncover and act on customer insights. Charles is a builder of wonderful, loyal teams and a pleasure to work with.'

Baylis himself comments: 'I'm incredibly proud of what we've built and the team behind it. With the integration of Voxco, our innovations will reach even more market researchers around the world. I'm confident the future is bright - for our customers, our technology, and the people continuing this work.'
