Biography
During my 15 years at Forrester I've led the company's coverage of the financial services industry. I have led our research on other industries as well, including media and online advertising. I've authored several Forrester Big Idea documents, including "Customer Advocacy: The Secret To Loyal Financial Services Customers."
Before joining Forrester, I spent 15 years designing, building, and running online services for business and consumer users. As a producer-in-chief for the AT&T Business Network, I led the design and implementation of one of AT&T's first Web-based products. I also led the development and launch of Ziff-Davis Interactive's services for Prodigy.
Before Ziff-Davis, I was a vice president and creative director of new product development at Citibank, where I led the development of the user interface and applications for the first full-screen consumer telephone. I also managed relationship marketing for Citibank's PC banking service. Prior to Citibank, I helped build and then ran Huttonline, the first-ever online service from a full-service brokerage. I was also a researcher and writer at Newsweek.
As happens with analysts, I've been quoted widely in publications including the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, and BusinessWeek. I particularly enjoy serving as a speaker and moderator at conferences. As host of Forrester's Financial Services Forum for 10 years, I've conducted on-stage interviews with the chairmen and CEOs of dozens of major firms, including American Express, Bank of America, Capital One, Charles Schwab, Citi, Edward Jones, and Vanguard.
Specialties
I specialize in the attitudes and behaviors of mass-affluent and affluent investors; online investing; brokerages, mutual funds, and insurers; financial advisors; financial firms' Web sites; and customer loyalty. I've helped brokerages, asset managers, and insurers design their Web sites, segment their clients and prospects, and understand their market opportunities.
