STRAT7 has appointed Sarah Guggino to the newly created role of Global Client Strategy and Insight Partner, supporting the group’s growth with key global clients, with a particular focus on financial services.
She joins from American Express, where she spent more than 12 years, most recently as Director of Insights, Global Brand and Advertising.
Sarah brings extensive experience of commissioning and applying insight within a large global organisation, giving her a valuable understanding of what senior clients need from their strategic insight partners.
Sarah’s appointment supports a broader focus on sectors across STRAT7, bringing the group’s sector knowledge and specialist capabilities together around the needs of clients.
Working directly with clients and alongside STRAT7’s teams, Sarah will initially help develop opportunities in financial services, connecting clients with relevant expertise from across the group. She will also work closely with teams developing Nucleus, STRAT7’s proprietary AI hub.
The appointment is effective immediately.
Sarah Guggino,
Global Client Strategy and Insight Partner, STRAT7
“Having spent years commissioning insight inside a global business, I know the difference it makes when work is built around the decision the organisation needs to make, rather than simply answering the initial brief. STRAT7 has the specialist expertise, connected capabilities and technology to do that exceptionally well. I’m looking forward to working alongside its teams and helping bring more of those capabilities to clients in the US.”
Sarah Guggino, Global Client Strategy and Insight Partner, STRAT7
“Sarah brings more than a decade of senior client-side experience and a strong understanding of the US insight and financial services market. She knows what clients need from their insight partners and how to make insight more useful inside a complex global organisation. Sarah’s appointment will help us deepen our relationships with key global clients, bring more of the group’s capabilities to the market and accelerate our growth there.”
Barrie Brien, CEO, STRAT7
