Brooklyn startup Remesh adds Noele Emmons and Emma Borochoff as sales and marketing directors.

The market research startup uses artificial intelligence to innovate in the field. Last year it raised $2.2 million and earlier this month it announced five new hires, including these two at the director level.

Borochoff comes to the company after nearly six years at digital events company Bizzabo, where she rose from a community manager to its brand and communications director.

Emmons, who’s based in Seattle, is a sales veteran, having been at the director level at two previous companies out on the West Coast.

We are growing our Remesh family and times could not be more exciting! https://t.co/16S987dfHJ #mrx #insights @researchlive #marketresearch
