InfoSum Promotes for CEO Role

In New York, data collaboration platform InfoSum has announced the promotion of COO Lauren Wetzel to CEO, taking over from Brian Lesser who has been Chairman and CEO since 2020.

Founded in 2016 and with locations in the US, the UK, Continental Europe and Australia, InfoSum boasts what it calls 'the only secure data clean room', allowing clients to improve customer experiences while prioritizing their privacy. Its patented 'non-movement of data technology' is protected by multiple patents and aims 'to connect the world's data without ever sharing it'. In January this year it launched a new solution called Private Path, aiming to help client organizations securely maximize the value of first-party data outside the clean room environment.

Wetzel joined InfoSum in the COO role in 2020, and previously held senior strategy and operations roles at AT&T, Xandr and Deloitte. Lesser will remain an advisor during a transition period, with his new role due to be announced 'in the coming weeks'.

Mark Suster, Board Director at InfoSum and Partner at Upfront Ventures, comments: 'Lauren is a pioneer in the data collaboration industry, having been involved with data clean rooms before the term even existed. She has run day-to-day operations at InfoSum for years as COO and as a board member. I'm thrilled to watch her continued growth as the new CEO of the company after many years under the mentorship of Brian Lesser'.
