Director, Go-To-Market & Product Marketing
Description
Experian Consumer Services markets a spectrum of products that assist consumers in managing the financial aspects of key life events, protect their identities and assets and helps to connect them with Experian clients who offer products and services relevant to that life event.
Experian Consumer Services operates the flagship direct to consumer (D2C) branded businesses of Experian.com, FreeCreditReport.com, ProtectMyID.com and CreditReport.com and associated sites like CreditScore.com and FreeCreditScore.com and most recently IdentityWorks.com.
Aside from its D2C vertical, the Affinity, Data Breach and CSID business of Experian Consumer Services, under the new moniker of Partner Solutions, operates several B2B “white label” web properties for more than 135 third party customers such as Wells Fargo, American Express, USAA, Discover and the United States Government. Additionally, ECS’s Partner Solutions business is the premier provider of Data Breach remediation services to some of the world’s most widely known brands that have been victims of large scale data breach incidents including Target, the most significant breach ever documented effecting an estimated 110 million US consumers.
In 2016 Experian acquired CS Identity (CSID). CSID is a leading provider of global identity protection and fraud detection technologies for businesses, their employees, and consumers. CSID’s identity protection services extend beyond credit monitoring to include a full suite of identity monitoring and fraud detection services which were both additive and complementary to Experian’s existing business. The acquisition of CSID was a strategic one; expanding Experian’s already strong capabilities in the identity protection market and giving the company a very flexible platform to improve speed to market.
