GroupM's Wavemaker, which recently rebranded its data-science department as "MIS" (Marketing Intelligence & Science), has beefed up the team with three top data executives.

The new team, which reports to Wavemaker North America Chief Data and Analytics Officer Delphine Fabre-Hernoux, includes:

Susan Cunningham and Jing Suk, who join the agency as executive director-marketing intelligence & science, and Flavia Lan, who joins as executive director-head of data engineering & science.

Cunningham, who is responsible for the agency's West Coast practice, has joined from senior vice president-human intelligence planning at Edelman, held similar senior roles at Annalect, Digitas, DDB and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. She is considered an expert on "modeling the drivers of brand trust."
