Fuel Cycle, a leading AI-powered consumer intelligence platform, has appointed Daryush Laqab as its new Chief Product & AI Officer. The move strengthens the company’s AI leadership as it expands its focus on building purpose-built Market Research AI solutions for enterprise insights teams.
Laqab brings more than two decades of experience in enterprise AI, product development, and platform innovation. Throughout his career, he has held senior leadership roles at Google, NVIDIA, and JPMorgan Chase, where he led the development of large-scale AI platforms, speech technologies, contact center solutions, and enterprise intelligence systems.
In his new position, Laqab will oversee Fuel Cycle’s AI and product strategy, helping the company evolve from a traditional research platform into an always-on consumer intelligence ecosystem powered by artificial intelligence. His responsibilities include advancing automation, accelerating insights generation, and creating scalable AI-driven workflows that help organizations move from consumer questions to business decisions more efficiently.

The strategy aims to help insights teams move beyond one-time research projects toward continuous intelligence systems capable of delivering real-time consumer understanding across the organization.
Commenting on his appointment, Laqab said that traditional research processes have often been slow, fragmented, and difficult to scale. He believes AI creates an opportunity to fundamentally transform how businesses gather, analyze, and act on consumer insights, enabling organizations to become more intelligence-driven and responsive to market changes.
The leadership addition reflects a broader trend across the market research industry, where AI is becoming a central component of research operations, customer intelligence, and strategic decision-making. As organizations continue investing in AI-powered insights platforms, Fuel Cycle is strengthening its position as a provider of next-generation consumer intelligence solutions for Fortune 500 enterprises.
