Speaker Profiles
As Kodak transformed its consumer business, it was recognized that it also needed to be more data driven in its marketing
programs. Mass advertising was no longer the only option. Consumer choice expanded in the marketplace, and their
experiences were actually connected. A worldwide CRM team was created to lead the evolution of customer intelligence
within Kodak.
As the WW CRM lead for customer intelligence, Sean is responsible for realizing business value through reporting and
analytics leveraging Kodak’s business-to-consumer data warehouse. Some examples include understanding profile
of current customers across touch points, purchase channel preferences, propensity to buy, customer valuation,
and audience segmentation.
His current challenges include mining for actionable insights and working with internal stakeholders to rationalize
interpretation of insights and identifying actions to be taken. Sean’s hands on approach in "operationalizing"
marketing analytics crosses all functions within Kodak as well as building requirements with outsourced reporting
and analytics team.
Sean holds a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University and a master’s degree from the University of Michigan.
