Meet Patrick Salyer, CEO of Gigya, for brands to understand better the connected customer (MDE111)

Servicing some of the most digitally savvy companies in the world such as Red Bull, Pepsi, Nike, ASOS as well as upscale names such as Barneys New York, Christie’s and Kate Spade, Gigya is clearly in the sweet spot for companies looking to create a single customer view.
