Data Driven

Harnessing Data and AI to Reinvent Customer Engagement

By Tom Chavez, Chris O’Hara, Vivek Vaidya

The Book

Sure to be a classic, Data Driven is a practical road map to the modern marketing landscape and a toolkit for success in the face of changes already underway and still to come.

A tectonic shift in the practice of marketing is underway. Digital technology, social media, and e-commerce have radically changed the way consumers access information, order products, and shop for services. Using the latest technologies we have more data about consumers and their needs, wants, and affinities than ever before.

The Authors

Tom Chavez, Chris O’Hara and Vivek Vaidya have built careers in advancing some of the most groundbreaking technologies for data, analytics and AI.

Most recently they collaborated together to build Krux, the data management platform that was acquired by Salesforce in 2016. Tom Chavez and Vivek Vaidya went on to form super{set}, a venture studio that founds, funds and builds technology companies. Chris O’Hara leads global product marketing for Salesforce Marketing Cloud’s Data and Audiences group.
