Dufrain announces appointment of Daniel Telling as chief growth officer
Data company Dufrain has announced the appointment of Daniel Telling as the company’s chief growth officer. He will now head up the firm’s growth and expansion plans, as it looks to shape the delivery of AI capabilities for clients around the world.
Joseph George, CEO at Dufrain, remarked, “We’re delighted to welcome Dan to our leadership team. His extensive experience in forging partnerships to drive sustainable, scalable growth, paired with his strategic, hand-on approach to delivery, makes him the perfect leader to drive our next phase of growth.”
Prior to joining Dufrain, Daniel Telling led Kin + Carta’s global partnerships division as executive managing director. He arrives at Dufrain with 30 years of experience in strategic growth and business development across a multitude of industries, from cloud providers through to AI and data analytics.
In his new role of chief growth officer, Telling will spearhead Dufrain’s growth and expansion plans and lead on the firm’s overarching mission of enabling client advantage by inspiring, shaping and delivering data and AI capabilities for the future. This leadership will further Dufrain’s reach and “enable more businesses to scale the data maturity curve and successfully utilise AI”, according to a release from the firm.
Telling also stated, “Dufrain is servicing the intersection between a world becoming obsessed with unlocking and leveraging the power of data and automated intelligence; and organisations and governments focused on the need for the ethical, security, regulatory and data foundations to do the right thing. I am proud and excited to be joining the fantastic Dufrain team, to support in the realisation of these ambitions."
The appointment comes at an important time for Dufrain and businesses worldwide, as advancements in AI and machine learning intensify the demand for robust data management solutions. However, it also comes at a moment when the enthusiasm for AI seems to be waning – and the work of consulting firms to find practical uses for the technology may be crucial to reigniting excitement in automation.
