Limetree has announced the appointment of Dr. Galen S. Swint as a company Managing Director to lead their marketing technology and data initiatives.

Galen, who earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, will be developing the strategy for Limetree’s unique analytic platform. Using proprietary technology, the platform facilitates meaningful interactions between consumers and brands by defining what interactions are important, allowing marketers to collect, learn, and accelerate results.

After starting his career at McKinsey, working on go-to-market strategies, lean IT service delivery, and contract management, Galen moved client side, taking on leadership roles with Capital One and Pizza Hut to lead digital business strategy and large-scale analytics initiatives. At Capital One, Galen implemented an analytical management process for marketing campaigns and products in the direct channel. He also championed a company-wide initiative that redefined the role of Capital One’s data analysts, transforming them from data providers to insight enablers. At Pizza Hut US, he was the Director of Digital Analytics and Data Science, driving the business-side definition of data and platform needs for the creation and adoption of a cloud-based platform for analytics and data science.
