London, United Kingdom – 09 September 2019 – Leading reputation analytics firm Commetric has appointed technology communications veteran Sally Costerton as Non-Executive Chair.

Working alongside a board of directors led by CEO Magnus Hakansson, Costerton says she expects Commetric to exploit its machine learning technology even more to deliver innovative analytics products which will help customers drive business growth.
