Vihan Sharma, Chief Revenue Officer at LiveRamp, has discussed his role in the company's partnership with Carrefour, describing the deal as important for positioning LiveRamp in Europe and creating a case study for the market. He stated that the collaboration involved developing what he called the industry's first "clean room," named Safe Haven, which he said provides transparency and control of data between retailers and CPG brands while respecting privacy. Sharma noted that selling in Europe is more challenging than in the U.S. due to longer decision-making processes and risk aversion regarding first-party data. In a 2018 appearance, Sharma discussed LiveRamp's work with Carrefour Media, describing the company as a connector that enables advertisers to activate campaigns across platforms like Facebook, Google, and YouTube, and to link digital media consumption with offline purchases. He cited a campaign with Bacardi Martini that he said resulted in a 15% increase in sales during the campaign and a 50% increase afterward. Sharma emphasized the importance of putting customer outcomes first, stating that "being a great product person means caring about the outcomes you can deliver to your customers." He also said he tries to disconnect on weekends when in Europe to spend time with his family.
“It is inherently important to me that, me, my team, everybody who I work with actually puts the customer outcomes first and foremost before anything.”
“Being a great product person means caring about the outcomes you can deliver to your customers. And if you think about sales, you cannot be a great salesperson if you cannot deliver the outcomes to your customers.”
“The Carrefour deal was very important because it allowed us to position the company meaningfully in the industry and sign a marquee client in Europe, which gave us a successful case study to talk about in the market.”
“We created the first clean room of the industry, called Safe Haven, which provides transparency and control of data between retailers and CPG brands, enabling collaboration while respecting privacy and security.”
