SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ID Analytics LLC, a leader in consumer risk management, today announced that Sameer Chopra has joined the management team as chief analytics and science officer. Chopra will take over the role from Dr. Stephen Coggeshall, who retired last month after more than a decade with the company. As chief analytics and science officer, Chopra will oversee research and development and manage the data scientists that develop and refine the data-driven models that power ID Analytics’ products and services. He will report directly to Scott Carter, CEO of ID Analytics.
