Hök, who joined Cint in 2011, was previously senior vice-president of products. In his new role, he will lead the technology and product teams, overseeing ongoing product development and technology innovation.

Hecker joins the company from Bambora, and has previously held leadership roles around product management and strategy for the financial and technology sectors, including Verifone and Commonwealth Bank. He will be responsible for progressing Cint’s product strategy.

Tom Buehlmann, chief executive at Cint, said: “The promotion of Stefan Hök and addition of Daniel Hecker to our leadership team reinforces our technical and operational abilities to stay one step ahead in the market research industry. Both will help to grow our company and advance our solutions to continually deliver more efficient supply and top-tier business insights.”

The expansion to the products team follows the company’s appointment of Karine Parsy as executive vice-president of Asia-Pacific.
