Using Online Reviews to Drive Endless Value for Your Company and Customers with Lauren Harris

“To me, customer centricity is the foundation. And you really need it.” – Lauren Harris

Lauren Harris is the Director of Global Customer Programs at Oracle. One of the areas where she’s driven a ton of value is in leading their customer review team, covering 6+ lines of business, 3 vendors, and over 15 functional areas. Third-party reviews are more important than ever because the way that many customers buy has fundamentally changed.
