Prior to Suzy she led customer engagement and marketing at industrial AI company Plutoshift, and earlier in her career she worked at iCrossing (Hearst), MRY (Publicis Groupe), McCann and BBDO.

In her new role, Dunn will Rep Data's worldwide expansion and help it reach more enterprise clients. An immediate task is to develop a cohesive market story reflecting the recent extension of the company's portfolio of services (including the acquisitions of ReDem, OWL and SightX), as well as ongoing product innovation - and the value these investments deliver to customers.

'We've built a company with enormous potential,' says Stokes, 'and we're ready to take Rep Data to the next level. Melissa knows how to build brands that stand out, connect with enterprise buyers and turn marketing into a powerful driver of growth. She brings the experience, energy and ambition to help us reach new markets and win new customers.
