We’re entering 2026 focused on improving how we best connect you with the verifiable people data. We’re continuing development efforts across our platform, data solutions, and client experience to ensure you get access to the information you need in ways that make you more efficient and competitive in the market. As the demand for real-time, verifiable data continues to evolve, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve and ensuring everyone is equipped to meet those challenges head-on.

To support this next phase of growth, we’re excited to welcome two exceptional leaders to our executive team: Danny O’Toole, Chief Product & Data Officer, and Reddy Shivampet, Chief Technology Officer.

Danny and Reddy bring a unique combination of skills and a deep expertise in data strategy, AI, and scalable technology that will help advance our commitment to delivering verifiable people data. They possess an unparalleled ability to build platforms and data solutions that deliver real impact, and will empower all our clients to act with confidence and agility in an increasingly complex identity space.

Advancing product and data strategy

As Chief Product & Data Officer, Danny will lead our product and data strategy—helping scale the capabilities that make people data more usable, accurate, and actionable.

Danny joins InformData from First Advantage, where he led data, AI, and product development for verifications and criminal screening solutions, including development of the company’s SmartHub solution. Prior to that, I worked alongside Danny at Nielsen, where he helped pioneer data-driven approaches to measurement and analytics. He brings a track record of building scaled data platforms in highly regulated environments requiring strict compliance and consumer consent, paired with a customer-centric approach to product design.

“I’m thrilled to join InformData at this pivotal moment,” said Danny O’Toole. “The intersection of AI, data strategy, and human-centered product design has never been more critical. I’m energized to work with this talented team to elevate our data and product capabilities and deliver solutions that truly guide how our clients make their most important decisions.”

Strengthening the platform for scale, security, and speed

As Chief Technology Officer, Reddy will lead technology strategy and execution across InformData—advancing the scalable, secure, and compliant technical foundation behind our data and products.

Reddy brings extensive experience leading technology organizations at both private equity-backed and public companies. Most recently, he served as CTO of DataLink in the healthcare data sector. He has also held CTO and senior technology leadership roles at Dun & Bradstreet and Nielsen, where he built digital measurement systems and developed innovative real-time store shelf inventory management technology. Throughout his career, Reddy has specialized in creating secure, compliant, and scalable platforms that deliver advanced solutions in highly regulated markets.

“I’m excited to step into the CTO role and leverage my experience building scalable, transformative technology solutions,” said Reddy Shivampet. “InformData has a tremendous foundation, and I look forward to advancing our technical capabilities to deliver the real-time, reliable insights our clients need to succeed.”

What this means for our clients

These appointments reflect rising demand for real-time, AI-powered data solutions in background screening and workforce monitoring, and reinforce our commitment to helping clients act with confidence and agility in an increasingly complex identity landscape.

As we continue to help businesses build trust with verifiable people data, we’re investing in the leaders and capabilities that keep InformData ahead of what’s next. Danny and Reddy strengthen our ability to deliver the innovation, reliability, and scale our clients expect.
