Our Head of Data Javier Perez Trufero reflected on this partnership:
Experian is one of the most important data brands out there globally with many of our existing customers already relying on their data to drive their most important business decisions - particularly in verticals such as CPG Financial Services and Retail. This alliance will bring further value to our customers as they look to navigate the new normal in the next year."
