Needham, MA – March 28, 2011 - Cross channel marketing intelligence software provider Visual IQ today announced it has named Dr. Payman Sadegh as director of research and development, marketing analytics. In this newly created role, Sadegh will leverage his in-depth analytics expertise to design and develop advanced algorithms for the company’s evolving IQ Intelligence Suite of products, ultimately leading to more robust and accurate cross channel marketing measurement, attribution management and optimization.

Sadegh has significant experience building analytics solutions from the ground-up to meet specific client demands and developing leading analytics projects from concept to completion in record time.
