"My career has centered on supporting customers' missions--which I firmly believe is directly tied to maintaining a laser focus on the customer and citizen experience," Brown said. "Applying best-in-class data analytics and technology to transform data into actionable insights is at the core of ORI's business, and I am excited to join the team in crafting data intelligence and data mining solutions that help clients improve not only the digital experience but also the overall customer experience. Since founding ORI more than 30 years ago, Kathy and Sue have led every aspect of the firm's day-to-day operations and impressive growth. It is a great honor to be welcomed into the fold and to partner with them in leading ORI into its next phase of growth."
