BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Dec 1, 2015) - Aberdeen Group, the market leader for technology industry data, predictive analytics and premium content, is excited to announce Charlie Allieri as the business's new Chief Data Officer and Managing Director of the San Diego office. He will manage the company's data and analytics business.

Starting first as a practitioner and then as an entrepreneur, Charlie's near 25-year career has been focused on B2B technology marketing, combining the latest in computing techniques with data to drive insights and performance. Most recently, Charlie co-founded iLantern in 2005, whose key assets were acquired by Avention in 2014. iLantern is a leading provider of dynamic event data and customizable trigger solutions. Charlie has also held sales roles at NCR and Teradata, as well as leadership positions in marketing, channel development, and business development.

"Combining a proprietary data set of 30 years of technology purchases, with current behavioral, trigger, and social data provides the richest set of content from which machines learning can derive unparalleled insights into buying personas. Best of all this is not hyperbole, as Aberdeen Group boasts some of the Best-in-Class technology marketers and sellers as its customers."
