VP, Principal Analyst
Fatemeh serves CMOs with a focus on the shifting global consumer data ecosystem. She helps marketers navigate the complex connections between privacy, trust, and ethical data use, including the practices and vendors that can help them bridge the privacy/personalization paradox. Fatemeh also advises clients on strategies to comply with global privacy regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA. Her seminal research on personal identity management (PIDM) and personal digital twins describes how consumers will soon control the sharing of their personal data with each other and with businesses.
In 2018, Fatemeh was recognized with Forrester's prestigious Bill Bluestein research excellence award. Her research has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and AdAge. She has provided commentary on NPR and the BBC; testified before the US Department of Health & Human Services; and been credited in the World Economic Forum's "Rethinking Personal Data" report. She frequently speaks at global events, including Mobile World Congress, CES, and SxSW.
Prior to joining Forrester, Fatemeh was principal of Times Two Marketing, where she built social and multichannel marketing programs designed to engage consumers, drive brand loyalty, and deliver relevant, actionable data to her clients. Prior experience at Binger Catalog Marketing, Abacus, and HagginGroup (now Epsilon) provided her with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing multichannel organizations across a spectrum of channels, market verticals, and disciplines. She has also held multichannel marketing positions on the client side, with firms like The Flax Companies and The Sharper Image.
Fatemeh is a member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and is a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM). She has served as a judge for the Multichannel Merchant Awards and the ECHO Awards.
