Manage episode 513762735 series 2823109
Athena Kasvikis is managing iRobot amid a turnaround more than 18 months after regulators nixed its acquisition by Amazon. But she’s also been an entrepreneur who led Behave Bras to success on “Shark Tank.” She brings classical Procter & Gamble marketer training to bear on Roomba, arguably the most iconic brand in robots, as interest in robotics and AI soars, in part thanks to Elon Musk. Here she talks on those things plus her outlook on CTV, data-based targeting, agency relations and how that “I, Robot” movie wasn’t named after the company, or vice versa.
