Usercentrics expands US business with new COO and CPTO
Usercentrics, the Munich-based consent management platform, has strengthened its leadership team to accelerate US expansion and develop AI-based compliance infrastructure. The company appointed Pawab Hegde as Chief Operating Officer (COO) — he will be based in New York and will lead Business Intelligence, Corporate Development, Operations and Finance — and promoted Elena Ignatova to Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO) to unite Product and Engineering. Usercentrics cited growing regulatory pressure in the US (over 20 states with comprehensive privacy laws), tighter consent requirements from major adtech platforms, and new challenges from agentic AI systems as drivers for the moves. Earlier in 2026 Usercentrics acquired AI-governance provider MCP Manager, which uses the Model Context Protocol to give controlled access for AI agents to data and systems.
