Canada-based holding company Rival Group has appointed long-time Mintel exec Shawn Vaughn as Chief Growth Officer, leading Go-To-Market teams across both its mobile-first insight community platform Rival Technologies and its experiential insight specialist Reach3 Insights.

Rival Group (formerly Reid Campbell Group) was founded in 2018 by former Millward Brown Global CEO Eileen Campbell, Vision Critical founder and CEO Andrew Reid and his sister Jennifer Reid, as a next-gen consumer insights engine.
