In his new role, Duke (pictured) will lead the development of Disqo’s consumer-facing applications, including their perceptions and behaviours from touch points on their ‘consumer journeys’.

Duke will also oversee the growth of Disqo’s mobile and desktop consumer applications.

Before joining Disqo, Duke was senior director of strategy and product at Oracle, where he managed a team leading customer retention for its Fusion applications.
