Waters commented, “Making Science is an incredibly exciting digital acceleration company, and this is a tremendous opportunity to join José and his team as the business enters the next phase of its global growth journey.
As a company built for today’s and tomorrow’s marketing world backed by a brilliant team applying data science and artificial intelligence, Making Science turbo-charges competitive advantage for brands and I look forward to being involved.”
