This provides excellent wind in the sails. But we are also becoming more conscious as businesses and individuals that data privacy matters. Data privacy priorities set by businesses, especially in tech, will catalyze a lot of this change in the future. For example, Google is hugely influential and is already driving this with <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics.com\/knowledge-hub\/google-consent-mode-v2-integration\/\">Consent Mode<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mars-sees-consent-and-compliant-data-at-the-center-of-enterprises-success\"> Mars sees consent and compliant data at the center of enterprises\u2019 success<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Mars transitions to Usercentrics from RingCentral, a leading US-based provider of AI-powered global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration and contact centre solutions. In her most recent role, she served as the Regional Vice President Strategic Channel Partners EMEA. As SVP Partnerships, Mars brings more than 20 years of partnership experience to Usercentrics to strengthen and expand Usercentrics partnership organization globally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"uc-quote\">\n    <div class=\"uc-quote__inner\" style=\"--photo-size: var(--sz-128);\">\n                <div class=\"uc-quote__text\">\u201cIn the future, any prosperous, data-driven business model will place consent and compliant data at the core of its enterprise.
