Helio Intelligence continues to push the boundaries of political intelligence and bring new technologies and services to its group companies DeHavilland and Forefront. 

Working with the latest AI technologies and developing its own Small Language Models (SLMs), Helio is augmenting its expert in-house team and policy analysts to support clients and provide intelligence faster, more accurately and more actionably than ever before.

This technological advancement was cemented by the appointment of Craig Unsworth to the role of Group Chief Product Officer. Drawing on over 20 years’ experience of product-centric transformations, Craig is leading the development of a new type of platform that will revolutionise public affairs.

Craig is a portfolio Chief Product Officer, Non-Executive Director and Board Chair, specialising in seemingly impossible Moonshot projects. In the newly created group role, Craig will combine DeHavilland’s market-leading political monitoring service with the intelligence-led insight from Forefront Advisers into one product.

The new platform will be unlike anything that is currently available to the public affairs profession, making use of the latest advances in AI and machine learning. Craig is perfectly placed to lead such project, having completed similarly complex developments in his work for major brands. His corporate client list includes Google, Mastercard, American Express, AIPC, P&G and the Financial Times.

Clients are already being invited to experience the new developments, with the platform rolling out further in the coming months.

This is an exciting next step for the Helio Intelligence group and the industries it serves.
