Tim Walters, Ph.D.

Consultant, Writer, and Public Speaker in Berlin, Germany

I am a principal strategist and the privacy lead at The Content Advisory, as well as a partner at IOOI Group, and a founding partner of Digital Clarity Group. In my writing, advising, and public speaking, I aims to help both enterprises and solution providers come to terms with customer experience management (CEM) – while also respecting the privacy and personal data of consumers. For me, this means understanding the fundamental concepts – experience, customer journeys, the jobs to be done – and then designing and implementing the engagement strategies that deliver mutual benefit for both buyers and sellers. Mypublications include "The CEM Imperative,” an "Executive FAQ" about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and “Is Native Advertising the New Black?”. Prior to DCG, I was a Senior Analyst and Advisor at Forrester Research, and director of international marketing and strategy for FatWire Software, Earlier, I was a professor at the University of Rochester and New York University.
