Career

Fader was introduced to marketing when he was a math major undergraduate in MIT by Professor Leigh McAlister. Later in an interview, Fader called McAlister his "fairy god mother" for his career in marketing.[2] Fader works with firms from a plethora of industries, such as telecommunications, financial services, gaming/entertainment, retailing, and pharmaceuticals. Managerial applications focus on topics such as management of customer relationships, lifetime value of the customer, and sales predictions for new products. Much of his research highlights the consistent behavioral patterns that exist across these industries and other domains.[1]

In addition to his various roles at Wharton, Professor Fader co-founded a predictive analytics firm named Zodiac in 2015,[3] which was sold to Nike in 2018.[4] He then co-founded and still works at Theta Equity Partners to commercialize his more recent work on “customer-based corporate valuation.”[1][5]

He has been quoted or featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Washington Post, TEDx, among other media.[6][7][8]
