Innovation Focus for New Panoplai VP

AI-based research and analytics firm Panoplai has appointed Craig Kinnear as Vice President of Insights & Innovation, with a remit to deepen its intelligence capabilities and help clients extract value from the platform.

Panoplai was founded as Glimpse in 2021, and provides clients in CPG, technology, financial services and entertainment with AI-powered insights it says are '90%+ aligned' to human benchmarks. The platform integrates surveys (traditional and synthetic). data ingestion, digital twin creation, synthetic enrichment, and interactive analysis to support research, marketing and innovation teams. Earlier this month it appointed former Cint, Suzy, Toluna and Mintel exec Katie Gross as company President.

Kinnear (pictured) brings around seventeen years' experience leading insights and strategy functions across retail, ecommerce, financial services and technology, from companies including Mintel, Trunk Club and GoHealth. He has also supported executive teams through two major exits, including a $1.5 billion private acquisition. Most recently, he worked at US fintech company NinjaTrader, establishing its research and insights function and expanding it across global markets.
