Callcredit Information Group has made two senior appointments.

Kelli Fielding has been appointed managing director, consumer markets, and John Cannon as managing director, fraud & ID.

Mike Gordon, CEO, Callcredit Information Group, said: “Over the last year, our clients have had to wrestle with and get ready for a huge amount of regulatory change. At the same time consumers have rightly become more and more aware of the value their data holds. People are increasingly happy to share personal information in exchange for more tailored goods and services. However, they are also mindful of the potential pitfalls and expect organisations to protect them and ensure they can transact in a secure and efficient manner. The appointments we have made reflect this changing dynamic and the continued growth of our business.”
