“We are thrilled to welcome Julie to our team. She’s a seasoned leader with an obsession for being customer-driven and a track record of success helping businesses market and sell,” said Drift’s CEO David Cancel. “There’s an undeniable change happening in the world right now: potential customers have all of the power, and as a result, place a premium on customer experience and how easy it is to communicate and buy from a business. Julie and her team will be responsible for leading this movement, educating the market, and helping businesses all around the world continue to make the shift to Conversational Marketing.”
