Senior Managing Director

Applecart was founded in recognition of a challenge: the most influential individuals – executives, investors, policymakers – have historically been the most difficult to access. Large organizations have often spent hundreds of millions of dollars to reach a handful of these people. Applecart’s technology is designed to level the playing field.

Applecart is the leading technology platform creating a new category of “Decision Maker Marketing”. From enterprise sales and corporate communications to government relations and employee engagement, the most sophisticated C-suite leaders use Applecart to manage their brand with business-critical decision makers such as policymakers, investors, CEOs, key employees, members of the media and more.

Traditional digital targeting technology can help organizations reach a mass audience, but it doesn’t really move the needle on critical outcomes. Decision makers are informed by what they read, learn from advisors, hear from colleagues, and discuss with family and friends. To break through to them, you must reach them through the only channel that really moves them: those they know and trust. Applecart’s platform uses publicly available or fully permissioned data to map billions of social relationships between nearly every American adult. By making this data addressable in a privacy compliant way, Applecart enables clients to market directly to decision makers and those that matter most to them.
