jon.cifuentes@venturebeat.com
I joined the VB Insight team at VentureBeat as a research analyst. I’ll be researching and writing at the nexus of marketing strategy and technology. Prior to VentureBeat, I was a senior researcher at Altimeter Group conducting research and providing advisory to F100 companies in disruption on enterprise social business, collaboration, and analytics. I’ve advised CMOs as a strategy consultant, have managed content teams, built social apps, and executed broad brand campaigns at the agency level. I’m also active in the enterprise technology startup community in the Bay Area in particular. If you’re in this space, I’d love to connect with you. I follow VentureBeat's ethics policy.
