Cory Munchbach is one of the most recognized operators in the customer data platform (CDP) space, known for translating complex data infrastructure challenges into actionable go-to-market and operational strategies. As COO of BlueConic, she has been central to the company's growth as a leading CDP vendor, helping enterprise brands unify first-party data and activate it across personalized digital experiences. Her work sits at the intersection of marketing technology, data privacy, and customer experience — areas that have become increasingly critical as third-party cookies deprecate and privacy regulations tighten globally. Before rising to COO, Munchbach built her career across marketing technology and analyst roles, including time at Forrester Research where she covered marketing technology and customer data as an analyst. This background gave her a rare combination of market-level perspective and hands-on operational expertise, making her a credible voice both inside organizations and on industry stages. She has been instrumental in shaping how brands think about the transition from third-party to first-party data strategies, and her work at BlueConic has helped position CDPs as foundational infrastructure for modern marketing. Munchbach is a frequent speaker and commentator on topics including CDP adoption, identity resolution, data governance, and the future of personalization in a privacy-first world. Her influence spans both the practitioner community — where she advises on technology stack decisions — and the broader industry conversation around responsible data use and customer-centric marketing.
