Verve selects Patenio to lead Chicago office

Patenio (pictured), whose title is vice president of research and consulting, joined the company earlier this year. 

The Chicago office has also hired Jon Allison as senior director and Donny Spano as research manager, and moved the team to larger offices.

In Toronto, three new hires have been announced: Shruti Shah joins as an analyst, and Melanie Ackland and Natasha David as community managers.

"Verve North America (Chicago and Toronto offices) is doing ground-breaking work and we are very excited to see the growth as our offering gains traction in the marketplace," said Andrew Cooper, Verve CEO.
