Quotes

“I'm Senior Vice President of Revenue Analytics, and I feel like I'm an accidental marketer. Because it all starts with the data, and really letting that inform what marketing strategies we should be putting our money in and investing in, and how do we quickly understand if it’s working. I'm a big believer in data to drive insights. Let's rely less on the gut.” –Saima Rashid, SVP Revenue Analytics, 6sense
