The addition of Mr. Hussain to the Board is part of Demand Science’s leadership team expansion – a component of the company’s next-level growth strategy and its ongoing mission to help B2B technology organizations thrive in the age of big data and grow their revenue with actionable business buyer intelligence at scale. Today’s announcement follows the appointments of Peter Cannone as CEO, Bill Harrigan as SVP of M&A and Corporate Development, Susan Fazelpoor as COO, and Monica Sullivan as SVP of Marketing.
“As Demand Science continues to expand our predictive offerings, it makes perfect sense to add a leader with a proven track record of growing and guiding top tier technology software companies to our Board of Directors,” explained Peter Cannone, CEO of Demand Science. “Omar Hussain has an unmatched history leading and scaling public and private companies and brings with him the expertise Demand Science needs as we enter the next phases of our growth.”

“Demand Science’s focus on AI-driven marketing intelligence and predictive analytics is not just our sweet spot – it is targeted to meet an urgent need that B2B sellers now need to evolve for future success,” continued Cannone. “In fact, Gartner’s Marketing Data and Analytics Survey 2020 released in October revealed what we’ve known for quite some time — that a large proportion of CMOs and VPs of marketing are unimpressed by the results they receive from their marketing data and analytics investments, and cite poor data quality, lack of actionable results, and a void in clear recommendations as top reasons for not being able to rely on marketing analytics to make decisions.”
