The Wise Marketer continues its Executive Spotlight Series with Robert (Bob) Jewell, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Exchange Solutions. Bob has a foundation in technology and data management, bolstered by deep experience in complex selling environments.
Bob was working with IBM when Watson, the natural language computer system initially developed to answer questions on the quiz show Jeopardy, was brought to market so he was intensely familiar with the concepts of machine learning and artificial intelligence long before the terms became familiar parlance to marketers.
Bob brought this experience to Exchange Solutions and has played an instrumental role in the company’s growth over the past decade.
