Chintan Mehta is Chief Product Officer at Audiense, a consumer data intelligence company combining three leading businesses — Elevar, Buxton, and Audiense — to help brands connect the signals behind what moves people, where they shop, and what they choose. He brings more than fifteen years of product leadership building data and analytics platforms that help organizations turn complex information into clear decisions. He joined Audiense from Bain & Company's Pyxis alternative data business, where as Head of Product he led the evolution from fragmented analytics toward a scalable intelligence platform. Before that he spent nearly a decade at the global market measurement company NielsenIQ as VP of Product Management, leading merchandising analytics spanning supply chain, pricing, assortment, and loyalty with global retailers and manufacturers. He began his career in management consulting at Accenture and holds a degree in industrial engineering from Northwestern University. His interest in consumer behavior started earlier than any of it. Chintan grew up working in his family's convenience store, where you learn what people buy by ringing it up — the morning coffee run versus the late-night one, what moves off the shelf, what sits. Most of his career since has been about doing that at scale, which is also how he approaches combining first-party data, third-party data, and AI-derived insight into a stack marketers can actually act on.
