“The acquisition of MarketShare was the bridge between Neustar’s unique ability to access and repurpose data and our ability to then use that data for marketing resource allocation, planning and attribution,” said Charlie Gottdiener, Neustar President & CEO. “It was the precursor to the solutions we sell today that drive data-driven marketing. Wes understands this world, he understands our proprietary OneID platform, and he understands what enterprises need to be competitive. Together, this brings a great asset to Neustar as we work to execute on our mission of enabling trusted connections between companies and people at the moments that matter most.”
“It’s exciting to be back at Neustar as a member of its Board of Directors,” said Mr. Nichols. “When Golden Gate Capital and Charlie asked me to join the board, I agreed for the same reasons we chose to sell MarketShare to Neustar. The company was, and continues to be, the only truly neutral source of analytics and data in the market. As the world relies more heavily on data to drive decision-making, so too will it require companies who are dedicated to neutrality, privacy, transparency, and trust. Neustar is that company. I wanted to be a part of that in 2016, and I am thrilled to be part of it again in 2020 as a board member.”
