He knew that there needed to be a solution to pick up where other marketing automation tools left off during the customer journey. Thats why UserIQ was developed: to help SaaS companies grow profitable revenue by engaging with the right user at the right time with the right message – and all without any custom coding.

The youngest of six sons, Mr. Bronner and his wife Stephanie are the proud parents of three boys and four girls. After birthing seven children in their first ten years of marriage, they decided to share their experiences and coauthored a book entitled, “Bedroom Talk.”
