Dun & Bradstreet appointed Virginia Gomez as chief product officer and Michael Manos as chief technology officer, the Short Hills-based company announced on May 24.
Gomez joins Dun & Bradstreet from TransUnion, where she was executive vice president of product and portfolio management, bringing a strong track record of global product innovation and execution to her new role. Manos joins Dun & Bradstreet from Fiserv, where he was chief technology officer.
“The impressive experience Ginny and Mike each bring will help us to advance our strategy to provide our best-in-class data and analytics in new, modern solutions that will give our clients a competitive advantage and position our company for long-term growth,” said Dun & Bradstreet Chief Executive Officer Anthony Jabbour.
“The combination of Ginny’s track record of creating new offerings that meet clients’ ever-evolving needs and Mike’s proven ability to deliver those solutions through a modern, cloud-based architecture, will create immense value for us. Capitalizing on the foundational efforts we have made over the past two years, we are excited to add these two talented individuals to continue on our journey of growth and innovation,” Jabbour said.
Prior to TransUnion, Gomez was executive vice president of product management and marketing at First Advantage, where she managed product strategy, marketing, and business development for the company’s global screening solutions (formerly LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group) and initiatives. Prior to that, she served in leadership roles at Lulu and PeopleFluent.
Prior to his time at Fisery, Manos held senior leadership positions at AOL Services, Nokia, Digital Reality Trust, Microsoft and Walt Disney. He maintains multiple industry certifications and is a proud holder of numerous infrastructure technology, software development, and process-related patents.
“Technology can have a powerful impact in the way that we provide clients the data, analytic insights and solutions they need to solve the world’s most challenging business problems, and I am ready to make that happen on a whole new level for Dun & Bradstreet as it continues to grow and create greater value for clients,” Manos said.
The company recently announced that it is opening a new location in Jacksonville, Fla., which will become its new corporate headquarters, and plans to grow its workforce there with 500 new jobs over the next five years.
Gomez and Manos will be based in the firm’s Jacksonville office, which will open in the fall.
