Bessey, formerly Senior Manager at Accenture, brings a similar depth of experience to his new role. In this role, Bessey will be assisting new and existing clients to unlock value from their customer data, using Amperity’s best-of-breed CDP. “As businesses adapt to the challenges and changes presented over the last few years and face new challenges in the year ahead, CDPs can help drive relevancy in real-time interactions to accelerate business growth,” he says.

“I’m thrilled to be on the ground, helping brands strike a balance between understanding how to engage with customers successfully while, simultaneously, respecting their data privacy to win in this new era of personalisation through the power of Amperity.”

Billy Loizou, Area Vice President at Amperity, says, “Brands are accelerating business transformation to better understand their customers, unlocking the ability to acquire more high-value customers, all whilst driving down their operational costs. The need for brand differentiation, seamless customer experiences, marketing measurement and data governance has transcended a CDP’s traditional function as a marketing tool to that of a central pillar of the entire enterprise software mix.

“Leading consumer brands are now using CDPs to transform how they engage with customers across marketing, customer service, sales and more. We are delighted to welcome two seasoned hires, Rian and Sam, to help accelerate the opportunity brands have to serve their customers at a time when demand for Amperity’s enterprise CDP reaches all-time highs.”
