His proven ability to apply financial strategy and maximize company performance will enable the company to complete its transformation this year and assist in transitioning to growth and shareholder value creation. Spaeth replaces Steve Macri who has decided to leave Dynata to pursue personal interests.

Tom is a seasoned finance and operations executive with extensive experience across corporate finance, accounting, investment banking, and consulting. His career spans leadership roles in global public and private corporations within the services, technology, and banking sectors. With a sharp ability to blend financial strategy and execution, Spaeth has been instrumental in driving revenue growth, improving cost structures, and leading transformative initiatives across international operations.

Spaeth recently served as CFO at HireRight, a leading provider of on-demand employment checks and solutions that help employers automate, manage, and control background screening and related programs.

His leadership extended beyond financial management to overseeing global operations with more than 4,000 employees, implementing technological advancements, and navigating complex restructuring efforts.

"While Tom's and my paths did not cross at HireRight I am well aware that he championed the company through a period of significant growth as well as product and technological transformation.
