SUMMARY
A driven strategist and marketing leader, my experience encompasses martech, insights, and digital content spheres.

I was instrumental in pioneering new research methodology adopted by Google as the basis of their groundbreaking ZMOT studies. I am a regular speaker at industry events such as Wake Forest University’s TedX on the Future of Shopping and Retail. [search: devora rogers : tedx]
