Don Hughes
Principal & Platform Architect
Don is a principal of Tricycle and the creator of InsightsOutward (I/O), the platform that turns customer, partner and employee data into sustained and profitable brand loyalty. With deep roots in loyalty marketing technology — including prior leadership at ESC Loyalty and Kobie Marketing — he built the original I/O CORE Loyalty Platform and I/O Fabric application requirements framework from hundreds of implementations across retail, financial services, healthcare, entertainment, and travel industries, among many others. Environments where program failure has consequences that go beyond a missed marketing KPI. He remains the architectural authority behind every major I/O CORE release. The platform's depth is his career in code.
