Chambers comes to Constellation from Americas’ SAP Users’ Group (ASUG), the largest independent trade association serving SAP customers and partners on the globe.

ASUG was awarded two American Business Awards under Chambers’ tenure, including Company of the Year recognition in 2012 and 2013. Chambers was awarded several ABA awards as well, including recognition as Maverick of the Year in 2012 and Executive of the Year in 2013.
“Constellation Research has experienced remarkable growth in the past three years. We are poised to continue the growth and success by enhancing our business strategy, growing our analyst community, and expanding into end-user markets,” said Wang. “Bridgette has long championed purposeful disruption for the sake of progress and innovation and I am confident she is the right person to take our firm to the next level. This new Constellation Research leadership team has a shared vision for the future and a passion to take the company to new heights.”
“Making smart technology decisions is an imperative; translating those smart decisions into value is a source of competitive advantage. I believe Constellation’s unique value proposition empowers our clients to make bold use of smart, disruptive innovation and thus, become more competitive in the market place,” said Chambers. “Ray has built an exceptional brand and an impressive body of market-leading research. I am excited and honored to join the firm. I have no doubt that our growth strategy and expansion plans will elevate Constellation Research, and the customer communities it serves, into the ranks of the most innovative brands on the globe.”
Chambers received her B.S. from The University of Houston and her MBA from Texas A&M University. Chambers is a well-known keynote speaker and presenter. Chambers honed her leadership skills while proudly serving in the U.S. Army Reserves and Texas Army National Guard.
