Richard Morrow
VP, MarTech Engineering & Innovation
Richard Morrow’s career path has had as many twists, turns, and steep climbs as the streets of San Francisco. Starting with a foundation in classic advertising design, he quickly moved beyond opinion-based creative work, gravitating toward the logical and strategic side of advertising. As MarTech gained traction in the early 2000s, Richard pivoted into digital technology projects, and transitioned to an agency role, embracing his role as a consultant and deepening his technical and digital marketing acumen.
His journey took him to Tealium, where he joined a scrappy team of three and helped scale it into a billion-dollar unicorn. As the leader of a 19-person team, he supported 800 customers, driving impact at an enterprise level. Now at BlastX Consulting, Richard applies his extensive experience to helping brands harness the power of customer data, personalization, and MarTech strategy.
Outside of work, Richard embraces hands-on craftsmanship. When he’s not tackling furniture-making projects or perfecting his grilling techniques (a true Ron Swanson in spirit), he’s getting walked by his 120-pound mastiff through the streets of San Diego. He and his wife enjoy the coastal lifestyle, though his passion for logical thinking, structured solutions, and great barbecue keeps him firmly grounded in both work and play.
Consulting Philosophy: “My guiding principle is to always deliver excellent service to our clients. Once the client is happy, I’m happy.”
