Toronto-based technology start-up, Conscia, has added a new advisory board member to the company. Seasoned IT executive Mark Riggs joins the advisory board serving in a capacity to guide on continued internal growth and strategic expansion to new target markets covered by Conscia’s AI-powered Interaction Management platform.

Other positions held by Mark are founding member of Cambridge Management Consulting (CMC), a subsidiary of Cambridge Technology Partners (CTP), and roles at Electronic Data Systems (EDS), a division of HP.
“It is very exciting to be a part of such a unique technology that democratizes machine learning, data management, enrichment and integration by making it accessible to domain experts through a self-service ‘excel-like’ interface,” said Riggs. “Sana and the entire Conscia team understand the importance of business and IT working together to tackle otherwise convoluted business problems with a fraction of the cost and time compared to their competitors.”
Conscia was founded on the vision that domain experts should drive the agile delivery of technology solutions that serve a business objective by abstracting the complexity of the underlying architecture with a self-service approach.
Sana Remekie, Conscia’s Chief Executive Officer noted, ‘we are very excited to have Mark Riggs join the Conscia family as he brings decades of experience in building high performance teams with a strong passion towards customer’s success. Mark will be key in helping us shape the strategic direction of the company”.
