Kyra Shannon (Hennessey)

Head of Global Customer Marketing and Reference Programs

"Partnering with Champion transformed our entire approach to advocacy. It lifted the operational burden of chasing reference requests off our team, allowing us to focus on strategic growth. Beyond that, the speed and accuracy of the matches mean we're tightly aligned with our CRO's revenue targets. Best of all, our customers love how seamless it is, and we never have to worry about over-asking. Everyone wins."
