"Our new board members bring impressive experience to the Revuze board, from their work building one of the world's biggest market research companies," said Revuze's CEO Boaz Grinvald. "Karyn is a customer-first leader with a track record in sales and marketing, and Tod is known for his leadership and innovation in building breakthrough products and services. The board and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them. This is a great validation of our deep technology and mission to help brands win at digital era speeds, across every role and department - marketing, e-commerce, product, R&D, innovation, etc."
Both Schoenbart and Johnson are excited at the possibilities they see to reinvent market research with the world's first warehouse of ready research answers from consumers' real-time product experiences, generated via Revuze's deep technology suite.
