Discuss.io Brings in Chief Financial Officer

Live video research specialist Discuss.io has appointed former PepsiCo and Nielsen exec Carlo Fava as Chief Financial Officer.

Fava (pictured) brings more than twenty years of experience. He joined Nielsen in 2000, holding a range of SVP and CFO roles including the Latin America Division, NA Consumer Commercial Business and Global Business Services. Before Nielsen he worked for PepsiCo, leading the operational and financial restructuring of its Mega Bottler in Latin America.

The firm helps clients engage directly with consumers through real-time conversations using live video, giving them rapid in-depth insights into behaviour and motives. Last month it hired another former Nielsen exec, Jason Dyer, as Global Sales Director.

Founder and CEO Zach Simmons says of the new arrival: 'Carlo enables us to be laser-focused on investing in the necessary processes and operations that are essential when a company is expanding globally, as quickly as we are. He will add fuel to that fire by leading the charge on managing our growth and raising capital when necessary, in order to build and scale the business at the rate that our clients expect'.

The company is headquartered in Seattle, WA and is online at www.discuss.io .
