“I always have, and always will be, a data-driven marketer, and what attracted me to Decibel, in part, is its vision to quantify the digital customer experience,” said Phair. “Decibel is taking a strategic approach to a business problem that not only CMOs like myself but others in the C-Suite must address. I’m looking forward to applying my experiences as a senior marketer for martech companies to Decibel and join the fast-paced company at such a pivotal time in its evolution.”

“The addition of Shane to our executive leadership team will help us to achieve our goal of making Decibel a name synonymous with delivering unparalleled digital experiences and a critical asset in every marketers’ tech stack,” said Ben Harris, Decibel co-founder and CEO. “Shane’s appointment couldn’t come at a better time for us, as we continue expanding on our platform, both in terms of its capabilities and the markets it serves.”
