Richard Demato Top-Executive

Part of founding team and now globally leading Strategy, Operations, and Innovation for the AI Lab, an AI solutions incubator delivering transformative new tools & ways of working for Google Marketing (spanning insights, creative, media, measurement).

Previously, I was Head of User Intelligence & Engagement in Google's global Marketing Technology & Engineering org, leading the team architecting a central MarTech stack for all of Google Marketing. I was also a Global Transformation Lead in Google Cloud's Value & Transformation Advisory org, helping our largest brands ($500M-$1B+ partnerships) apply 10x thinking to reimagine what's possible for their customers, their organization, and the world.

Before Google, I was West Coast GM & Head of Transformation at Simon Data, a Series C, SaaS Customer Data Platform (CDP) and Gartner Cool Vendor. Simon transformed MarTech stacks and Lifecycle Marketing for top brands (e.g. Tripadvisor, Venmo, Unilever, Betterment, Vivino, BarkBox). At Simon, I influenced & aligned CxOs and marketing, product, data, analytics, engineering, and service leaders on how to unify their data and deliver personalized cross-channel experiences.

To help CxOs accelerate complex transformation initiatives, I conceived, launched, and manage an invite-only CxO roundtable series, co-hosted by Google’s Global VP of Marketing. Execs across industries share & discover unique insights that reshape strategy, reimagine data & tech ecosystems, and drive change.

Before that, I was CxO & co-founder of multiple agencies/consultancies, with cross value chain experience. I secured, designed, and led complex marketing, strategy, innovation, transformation, culture, and change management projects for Global 500s, top brands, and high-growth startups. Engagements lasted 2 weeks to 3 years, so I built and managed agile, multi-disciplinary teams with a bespoke, ever-evolving mix of execs, advisors, investors, SMEs, and vendors/partners.

To effectively guide organizations & engagements, I became an expert at workshop design & facilitation. Be it 2 or 150+ participants, my unique POV and rigorous process rapidly generates actionable strategies & solutions, aligns diverse stakeholders, and enables sustainable progress.

I am also a keynote speaker & moderator at top conferences and client exec summits, with work & insights featured in Fast Company, Forbes, MarTech Today, Forrester, and GOOD Magazine. In 2014, I was named one of GOOD Magazine’s "GOOD 100", highlighting 100 global citizens and creative changemakers who are moving the world forward.

This changes with Simon Data: the "Smart Hub" Customer Data Platform (CDP) that is purpose-built to seamlessly blend the art of understanding your customers with the act of connecting to them. We do this by merging identity management, omni-channel orchestration, and cross-functional workflows, with flexible integrations into any data source or engagement channel. Our Smart Hub model enables leading brands to improve marketing results faster - driving incremental revenue, increasing campaign engagement, and reducing the time-to-launch/value of CRM/Lifecycle campaigns. A 2020 Gartner Cool Vendor in Multichannel Marketing, Simon works with leading brands like Equinox, ASOS, and TripAdvisor to improve customer experiences and all of the core growth metrics that follow., I've been an advisor to Simon Data since launch, with a focus on supporting strategic client development. From everything I’ve seen partnering with CMOs to lead marketing transformation, they are the best in the space at handling massive complexity and scale, and are the (not so) secret weapon for the modern marketing department.
