Viamo Expands Team to Grow Mobile Data & Engagement Solutions

We are excited to welcome Ken Gaalswyk and Ezra Monari to our team as we work to accelerate innovation and continue our market growth in the commercial sector! 

Ken and Ezra bring to Viamo a combined 30 years of experience in mobile data collection, market research, and user engagement. Their expertise will solidify Viamo’s leadership in mobile data collection in emerging markets. In fact, in just a few months we plan to launch new data products & engagement solutions powered by strategic partnerships with other industry leaders!

This will include new solutions for our commercial partners including opinion and market research, brand measurement, targeted advertising, B2B intelligence, customer engagement, customer service, remote training, and customized data feeds.

For the last 9 years, Viamo’s platform has delivered proven and cost-effective mobile solutions to the international development and commercial sectors by engaging beneficiaries in over 50 countries - reaching 30 million people and delivering 200 million key messages in just the last 12 months.

Ken is our new Director of Enterprise Sales in North America. He brings more than 20 years of market research and data collection experience to Viamo, including global and large-scale experience (>100 countries,  > 50 multi-country projects) for commercial, government, and NGO partners. “I am thrilled to join Viamo! My job is to help organizations engage their target audience in middle and lower income countries through our mobile platform to collect & share information. I am excited to bring Viamo's incredible reach and value to organizations by helping them leverage information to improve lives through better products and services.,” he said. 

Ezra joins Viamo as Director of Enterprise Sales in East Africa and brings more than 9 years of success in driving business growth and expansion. Ezra has deep domain expertise in mobile-based research and customer engagement solutions, delivering mobile data solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. "It's a privilege to join a truly innovative mobile-engagement social enterprise, proven in solving the technology challenges that prevent organizations from successfully adopting agile practices needed to meet the demands of their users as well as those on the margins from accessing critical information on the devices they own," he said.

In addition to these key hires, Viamo is expanding and attracting top-notch talent as we plan to double our employee base in the coming year. On the heels of a significant funding round earlier this year, Viamo is also building its bench strength as partners and organisations increasingly adopt mobile engagement solutions to deliver exceptional user experiences.

If you need to collect information including surveys, audience profiles, customer service, or need to share information through infolines, remote training, communications campaigns, or advertising, reach out to Ken and Ezra who will be happy to show you Viamo’s fantastic capabilities. 

Welcome to the team Ken and Ezra!
