In his role, Rainey will utilize his considerable experience and industry knowledge to guide and support Speedeon Data in navigating new strategic directions and achieving company growth objectives.

"We asked Brian to serve on Speedeon Data's Board of Advisors because of his outstanding experience and a proven track record of turning strategic vision into successful reality," Daher said. "With Speedeon Data in a period of rapid growth, it is an ideal time to benefit from Brian's invaluable insight and support."

Currently, Rainey is President of Path2Response, a firm designed to help omni-channel marketers interpret results from multiple media and eliminate the bias that exists within attribution models. He is the former President of Epsilon Targeting, where he oversaw the operation and development of Epsilon's unique data offerings. Rainey also served as Chief Executive Officer of Abacus, Director of Marketing for The Sharper Image, and List Developer Manager at Sara Lee.

Rainey's appointment follows closely on the heels of the company's recent addition of Marc Jerauld, a veteran sales and management executive, as Chief Revenue Officer — responsible for all aspects of revenue generation, including sales strategy and management, customer acquisition, and client strategy and retention. Jerauld brings to Speedeon nearly 20 years of leadership experience across multi-channel, direct marketing solutions and success across all phases of business development and sales management.
