About David Edelman
As a sought-after advisor on digital transformation and marketing, I've been repeatedly recognized by Forbes as one of the “Most Influential CMOs in the World,” by AdWeek as one of the “Top 20 Marketing and Technology Executives,” and recently by them as a "Power 100 AI Trailblazer." My work has attracted over 1.1 million followers to my LinkedIn blog, and I've keynoted over one hundred events around the world. As CMO, I guided Aetna through becoming a digitally-oriented, customer-centric brand, and build Digital Marketing practice areas for BCG, McKinsey, and Digitas. My best selling book, "Personalized: Customer Strategy in the Age of AI" is on its 2nd printing. I've taught at Harvard Business School, and also have a BS from Harvard and MBA from HBS.
