SYDNEY, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Customer Engagement leader and commentator Aarron Spinley joins Thunderhead's 
executive team to lead the APAC region
 
Thunderhead [https://bit.ly/380hQw3], the global leader in enterprise 
technology for customer engagement and real-time journey orchestration announce 
the appointment of Aarron Spinley as VP ANZ. The appointment reflects 
Thunderhead's growing footprint of customers in the ANZ region and the 
increasing market demand for its Customer Journey Orchestration and Analytics 
technology.

In this newly created role, Aarron will be responsible for building out the ANZ 
team and operation, helping brands deliver customer engagement using 
Thunderhead's ONE platform and its unique and powerful combination of deep 
customer journey analytics and real-time journey orchestration. 

Aarron joins the company from SAP and his extensive network of peers and 
breadth of enterprise experience makes him the ideal leader to take customer 
engagement strategy and journey-first best practice to a wider audience. Aarron 
will report into Chief Revenue Officer, Rob Coyne. 

Paul Greenberg, industry analyst, author and the credited 'Godfather of CRM' 
commented, "Journey Orchestration and Analytics has now become a 
mission-critical component for the modern customer-led enterprise. For me this 
appointment is a good match at an opportune time. Thunderhead has long been a 
technology pioneer and leader in this space, while Aarron has been a thought 
leader in customer engagement and experience. The two are well suited to make a 
difference in ANZ. I look forward to hearing great things about their progress 
together."

Thunderhead has had a successful history of building business and enterprise 
customers in Australia. This will be the second company it has successfully 
taken into the region. Its first, Smart Communications, was sold to Accel-KKR 
in 2016. Now, in the age of real-time customer journeys and demand for seamless 
customer engagement, Thunderhead returns with its new ONE business and plans to 
make a similar successful impact in the coming months

Today Thunderhead is the market leader for real-time journey orchestration and 
real time interaction management, supporting brands across many industries with 
its best-in-class technology. Thunderhead's international growth has recently 
been widely recognised in the CRM Watchlist [https://bit.ly/39RUrz7], Sunday 
Times Fast Track 100 [https://bit.ly/36XiLh6] and Deloitte Fast 
50[https://bit.ly/33UV7jt] league tables.

Aarron was recently named a top 10 global thought leader in both Customer 
Experience and Brand Loyalty according to Thinkers360, and is prominent on its 
leaderboards for Marketing, CRM, and Culture. 

Today, Spinley said, "The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated what was already 
a breakneck evolution in customer engagement. Digital Darwinism and the new 
economics of engagement and value creation have never been more relevant for 
brands heading into the next decade."

He continued, "Companies have a myriad of systems and channels from CRM and 
marketing automation in the backend, to commerce platforms, mobile assets, and 
media at the front, together with differing modes of physical customer 
interaction. Complete journey orchestration has been the missing piece that 
both harmonizes and humanizes the overall experience. For those that know my 
work, they will recognise that this is a great fit for me. I couldn't be more 
excited to be joining Thunderhead."
