What does Phyllis Fang say on The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström?
Phyllis Fang, Head of Marketing, Transcend, says: This interview with Phyllis Fang, Head of Marketing at Transcend, explores the personalization paradox: AI enables precise one-to-one experiences even as data access is constrained by privacy, regulation, and consumer skepticism. Fang outlines practical steps—auditing shadow data, redefining the value exchange with tangible utility, reframing privacy as a growth enabler, and fostering cross-functional collaboration—to build trustworthy, consent-driven personalization that scales responsibly.
