About Renuka Iyer

Currently having the time of my life driving research and strategy for agentic development!I am passionate about bringing the customer\'s voice to the heart of decision making to drive business results. I have a demonstrated history of influencing business and marketing strategy through market research. My superpower is building strong relationships and bringing diverse data and people together to drive one coherent customer insight and story. I have drawn on these superpowers consistently to build and lead complex measurement programs from (sometimes an ambiguous) idea. As a leader, I am hands on, authentic and passionate about promoting a diverse and inclusive work culture.
