The ECDMA Council is the strategic heart and governing body of our Association. Comprised of five of the most accomplished leaders in the digital economy, the Council is entrusted with steering our organization’s direction, upholding the integrity of our charter, and ensuring we serve the evolving needs of our global members.
Membership on this Council is not merely a reflection of a successful career; it is the recognition of a career that has defined success for others. Each member is selected through a rigorous process that looks beyond titles to find tangible proof of transformative impact—from architecting strategies that generated unprecedented growth to pioneering new methodologies that have become industry standards.
This stewardship is most evident in the Council’s sole authority to approve ECDMA Senior Members, our Association’s highest distinction. By serving as the guardians of this process, the Council ensures that our standards for excellence remain absolute and that recognition is earned through proven, sustained, and peer-validated contributions.
The leaders below represent the pinnacle of the e-commerce and digital marketing profession. Their collective insight, strategic foresight, and unwavering commitment to our mission are the driving force behind the value and prestige of the ECDMA. We invite you to learn more about them.
