The new appointment will consolidate Talkwalker’s position as a leading consumer intelligence platform.

NEW YORK, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Talkwalker, a leading consumer intelligence company, announced today that Tod Nielsen has been appointed the new global CEO. A SaaS and software platform visionary, Nielsen will succeed Robert Glaesener, who will become chairman of the board of directors and will help oversee the successful transition.

Nielsen is an industry veteran, globally recognized for his combination of strategic vision and operational capabilities, developing industry-leading platforms. Most recently, he was president and CEO of FinancialForce. He brings decades of experience in leadership roles at companies such as Salesforce, VMware, and Microsoft, and is known for his ability to help companies scale and grow significantly.

“I’ve always been an advocate of customer focus and customer centricity – brands that listen to their customers, and adapt quickly to their needs, will be market leaders,” said Tod Nielsen. “Today, that customer responsiveness and understanding is more critical than ever.”

“When the opportunity arose to work with Talkwalker,” Nielsen added, “I was excited to take it. Talkwalker helps our customers understand and get closer to their customers by translating consumer intelligence to make actionable business decisions.”

During Glaesener’s 10-year tenure, Talkwalker has seen exponential growth, growing from a small start-up to a global enterprise business with 500 employees worldwide. 2020 was a year that crystallized the importance of consumer intelligence, with over 800 new brands choosing Talkwalker to understand their customers better. This resulted in another successful year, with an impressive 38% revenue growth year-on-year, and a 46% growth in enterprise clients.

“Growing Talkwalker into a leading consumer intelligence platform and helping our global clients understand and profit from the extraordinary changes in digital consumer behavior has been an exciting journey,” Robert Glaesener said. “Tod is the right leader to take the company to new levels of scale and growth, and I am looking forward to working with him as he takes the helm”. 

“My mission is to build upon Talkwalker’s foundation of growth and success,” Nielsen continued, “and to place Talkwalker’s impressive technology and platform at center stage in this dynamic market. I’ve been fortunate to experience firsthand what it takes to scale and grow companies to this level and beyond, and I look forward to applying those experiences in context to Talkwalker.”

This success has long been established within their client base, and the wider industry. Today, Talkwalker was recognized as a Leader in The Forrester New Wave™: AI-Enabled Consumer Intelligence Platforms, Q3 2021. This recognition will continue as Talkwalker commits to opening more global offices in Europe and Asia, strengthening its partner ecosystem, and connecting with more clients, partners, and strategic collaborators.

“While continuing to develop and expand our value proposition and market category, Talkwalker has focused on educating and empowering its users,” Nielsen said. “I want this to continue – to not only help Talkwalker’s growth, but that of our partners. To have a widespread positive impact on our ecosystem.”

“We are thrilled to have Tod join the Talkwalker team as the new CEO,” said Roland Pezzutto, a principal at Marlin Equity Partners. “He has broad experience within the technology industry having grown global organizations to billions of dollars in revenue. We believe his vision and leadership will further accelerate Talkwalker’s growth and scale the company into a market- leading consumer intelligence platform.”

Pfizer, BioNTech Agree to Produce COVID-19 Vaccine for Africa

Pfizer and BioNTech have reached an agreement with a South African company to produce their COVID-19 vaccine for distribution in Africa, the biotechnology companies said Wednesday.

The Biovac Institute in Cape Town will manufacture 100 million doses of the vaccine annually starting in 2022. The company will mix vaccine ingredients it receives from Europe, place them in vials and package them for distribution to the 54 countries in Africa.

The agreement may eventually help alleviate vaccine shortages on a continent where the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says less than 2% of its population of 1.3 billion has received at least one dose.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said the company’s goal is to provide people throughout Africa with the vaccine, a departure from previous bilateral agreements that saw most doses being sold to wealthy countries.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is already being manufactured in South Africa in a similar “fill and finish” process that has the capacity to produce more than 200 million doses annually. The vaccines are also being distributed across the African continent.

Al-Shabab Threatens to Disrupt Upcoming Somali Elections

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA – Somali terrorist group al-Shabab has threatened to attack electoral delegates who will be choosing lawmakers in parliamentary elections beginning next week.

The Islamist militant group has threatened to disrupt the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections in the Horn of Africa country.

The leader of the group, Ahmed Abu Ubaidah, said Tuesday they are opposed to the poll process and threatened the electoral delegates.

He said the delegates should not be deceived by the empty promises such as financial benefit and secret ballot, and should think of the destiny of previous delegates who took part in 2017 elections, some whom were killed and others still live in fear.

Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for attacks that killed dozens of delegates during the last election process in 2017.

Ubaidah urged delegates to reconsider their decision to participate in this year’s election, adding that those who defy al-Shabab will not be safe.

The polls begin this Sunday with Somalia’s influential clans electing 54 members of the upper house of parliament.

Abdisalam Gulaid, the former deputy director of Somali Intelligence Agency NISA, said this latest threat is aimed to create climate of fear among those involved in the polls.

He said the new threats by the group towards upcoming historic elections in the country should not be taken lightly, stressing there is need for a coordinated response. He said that while the threats will definitely impact the polls, the group will not achieve its main goal of halting the democratic process in Somalia.

Somali security forces in cooperation with the African Union force in Somalia, AMISOM, are gearing up to ensure the safety and security of the polls.

Principal Security Advisor at the office of Somalia’s Prime Minister Abdi Dirshe said no stone will be left unturned to counter the latest threats.

He said the policy of the federal government regarding the al-Shabab group is very clear and thus they will be defeated and removed from the country. He said there is a security plan to ensure the safety of all the election venues across the country.

The Somali polls were delayed a year due to disagreements over the process. Lawmakers tried to extend the term of President Mohammed Abdullahi Farmajo but reversed the move under pressure from opposition groups and the international community.
