Senior Appointments for Res Tech Firm Walr

UK-based research tech company Walr has appointed former CBRE exec Emily Whiting as Chief of Staff, and former Accenture leader Keziah Wonstolen as a Non-Executive Director.

Walr was set up in the autumn of 2020 by former VIGA (now Savanta) exec Lewis Reeves and Patrick Fraser, who previously worked at Ipsos and Critical Research. The firm offers a bespoke research platform which allows users to create, access, analyse and distribute data all from one location.Last September it acquired fellow res tech company QuenchTec, and since then it has grown headcount from around 30 to 'approaching 50', with bases in the UK, the USA and continental Europe.

Whiting (pictured left) joins from CBRE, where she headed up the Change Management vertical for the US within the Global Workplace Consulting practice, leading a team of seven experienced consultants on enterprise transformation projects.

Wonstolen (pictured right) brings fourteen years of experience from Accenture and is currently CEO of Vannin, a company which finds / selects and provides training for Chiefs of Staff in fast-growing client firms (and found Whiting for Walr). At Accenture, Wonstolen focused on high-tech sales transformations as a management consultant before becoming Chief of Staff within the consulting business.

Lewis Reeves, Walr founder and CEO, comments: 'As we continue to embrace the very best of technology and talent to generate client delight and power our customers success, bringing onboard Emily and Keziah represents a huge scope for Walr. The calibre, intelligence and experience they have from such successful organisations will play a pivotal role in aiding Walr to deliver on our ambitious global strategic goals'.
