Los Angeles based DISQO, a customer experience (CX) platform establishing higher data quality standards for its clients, announces Bonnie Breslauer has joined the company in the newly created position of Chief Customer Officer. The company’s consumer-centric philosophy and rapid software development are the driving forces behind its success.
Breslauer will build on its customer-driven growth, and share its profound message throughout the research community. As a member of the Executive Team, she will help guide DISQO’s strategic vision and positioning.
DISQO CEO Armen Adjemian expressed his enthusiasm regarding Breslauer’s acceptance of the role: “I could not be more excited to have Bonnie on the DISQO team. She brings a stellar reputation and deep industry knowledge to the company. Her passion for true research panels and a quality driven product are perfectly aligned with DISQO’s mission. We’re solving one of the most complicated issues in sampling – delivering quality data at a time when respondent engagement is at an all-time low and online fraud is rampant. We’ve built a true research panel that not only addresses these issues, but also provides significant feasibility with a continuous investment in panel and technology. Bonnie will help us shape the product, incorporate client needs, and share our story.”
Breslauer is mutually excited: “DISQO is the perfect fit for me. I’m all about delivering quality and consider managed panels to be the gold standard. I have no doubt that DISQO’s product offering and message will resonate with clients. I’m truly thrilled to join a vibrant company that has tremendous momentum in the marketplace.”
