I spent two decades working in enterprise sales holding leadership roles at Sitecore and Experian Marketing Services.

I was also a founding member and an executive sponsor of Experian’s first women’s network in North America.

3. How do you think technology is upgrading the marketing Sector?
I think technology, in tandem with regulations like GDPR and CCPA, has upgraded the marketing sector by forcing brands and marketers to put more focus on brand trust and keeping their platforms safe instead of simply leveraging raw data.
4. How has the data-driven approach empowered marketing campaigns?
Successful app marketing depends on an array of platforms within a tech stack and how they are connected. Within that architecture, attribution — which credits a marketing activity that delivered a desired goal — is the key. Only with accurate and granular attribution data can you identify which marketing campaigns work and meet your goals, and which do not. Therefore,
the data-driven approach has empowered campaigns by providing brands and marketers with the detailed data they need to run successful campaigns across the right channels.
5. How do you define your Mobile Attribution solution?
Mobile attribution, when done by a reliable, unbiased provider, will optimize performance by pinpointing the value of specific channels, ad networks, publishers, campaigns, and even different versions of creatives Attribution providers can open your eyes to a wealth of cross-network data that can help you boost lifetime value (LTV) and ultimately ROI. They will tell you exactly where you should spend your budget and where you shouldn’t. And this is why attribution is at the very heart of effective marketing.

Organization! Something as easy as a checklist can lead to an increase in productivity especially when we’re working from home. Because we’re not in an office, having a guide to navigate each day with propels productivity and maximizes my output in an efficient and effective way.
10. How do you prepare for an AI-Centric world?
I think one of the most important aspects of AI is data.
When you think about what powers AI, it’s data and the quality of data is increasingly important to the output of AI and machine-learning. So, it’s natural that preparation for an AI-centric world begins with ensuring data is accurate and accessible.
And, this is something we practice in a comprehensive and holistic way. As the global leader in attribution, data is key.
