Christine Tran, Researcher
Christine Tran works closely with partner Jeremiah Owyang in the Customer Strategy practice. She conducts research and analysis on customer strategies, focusing on evolving technologies which currently include social marketing, social CRM, mobile, and location-based services.
Christine recently returned to the Bay Area from Vietnam, where she spent a year and a half as a Project Manager serving U.S. e-commerce companies. While in Vietnam, she also completed her MBA through the University of Hawaii’s offsite program based in Ho Chi Minh City.
