Appointment brings extensive experience scaling technology businesses to RepData following the launch of its Verified Intelligence Platform

NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RepData, a provider of end-to-end research and insights technology with integrated data quality verification, has appointed George Gallate to its board of directors. Gallate brings more than 40 years of experience building and advising businesses across data, technology, marketing and professional services, with a focus on business growth, strategic partnerships and bringing new capabilities to market.

The appointment follows RepData's recent launch of its Verified Intelligence Platform (VIP), which connects survey design, participant sourcing, fraud prevention, data quality verification and analysis in one system. The company is establishing Verified Intelligence as a new category of research, with quality checks integrated throughout the process and visible to customers. Gallate will advise RepData as it expands the platform's reach among enterprise and mid-market businesses and builds relationships with organizations seeking more reliable data for critical decisions.

“George has spent his career helping companies see what's possible and then figuring out how to get there,” said Patrick Stokes, CEO and Founder of RepData. “He understands how technology changes businesses, but he also knows that growth comes from understanding customers, building the right relationships and delivering something people genuinely need. We've made a significant investment in bringing our research capabilities together, and George brings the experience and perspective to help us take that next step.”

Gallate's career includes serving as Global Chairman and CEO of Havas Digital, where he helped build one of the world's largest digital agency networks, and as Chief Marketing Officer and Global Executive Vice President at Merkle. He also held regional CEO responsibilities for Havas across Asia Pacific, India and the Middle East and as CEO played a key role in the growth of and sale of RKG (Rimm-Kaufman Group) to Merkle.

Beyond his executive leadership roles, Gallate has worked closely with management teams and investors on business strategy, acquisitions and expansion. He currently serves as CEO of MKTG2.U and as a senior operating executive at Mountaingate Capital. He serves on the Boards of Tinuiti, Real Chemistry, Podean, SAMY, WebFX, Walker Sands, Bond Loyalty, Horizon Services and Anteriad.

“Research is fundamental to how businesses understand their customers, evaluate opportunities and decide where to invest,” said Gallate. “What interests me about RepData is the opportunity to make that process more connected and dependable, especially as AI changes how research is conducted and how quickly companies expect answers. Patrick and the team have built something with real potential, and I look forward to working with them to bring it to more businesses and help shape what comes next.”
