STRAT7, the tech-enabled insight consultancy, announces several new senior-level promotions to support its ambitious growth strategy.​

Barrie Brien, CEO at STRAT7, comments:

“We’ve had another exceptionally strong financial performance this year [to 30th June 2022], with organic growth of over 30%. All our regions performed well, with particularly strong growth in the US and APAC. We continue to focus on building long-lasting relationships with our enterprise clients and fostering a culture of collaborative innovation across the group.

I’m in no doubt that our performance reflects the high value that clients place on the expertise and commitment of our teams. So, we’re pleased to announce the following new promotions. Not only are they very well deserved for the contribution these individuals have made to STRAT7’s success so far, they are also an important underpin to our future growth plans. We’ll continue to invest in our talent pool in the coming months and beyond.”
