Sanders to Beyond Analysis
STW's data insights and analytics arm, Beyond Analysis, has a new CEO with Jeff Sanders replacing Neil Boulton in the role.

“Beyond Analysis is in a very dynamic space,” Sanders said. “Therefore, there is a real opportunity to get data out of the back room of reflective research oriented reporting and become a catalyst for action that drives results, sitting at the big boys' table, making things happen.”
Neil Boulton will depart Beyond this month.
