Simmons’ addition reinforces RSG’s tradition of building an advisory team from former implementation leaders. “More than ever, enterprise MarTech leaders need unfiltered, tough-minded advice to cut through marketplace confusion and hype,” said RSG founder Tony Byrne, “And Scott brings that kind of practical, real-world experience to decision-making around emerging topics like AI and composable stacks.”
