The Manochi Team

Chase Buckle

Chase is Manochi’s co-founder & CEO, Principal Analyst at DataReportal, and creator of Nova, the research instrument behind Manochi’s Focus and Signal products.

Prior to Manochi, Chase spent a decade understanding the world through data at GWI, most recently as VP Consumer Trends & Insight. Chase believes you have to understand how something can be measured before you can trust what the numbers are telling you. That belief, together with a growing list of questions he had about AI's influence on consumer purchasing, drove him to create Nova.

Chase has worked with clients ranging from Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, and Reddit, has spoken on stages globally, and has often appeared on podcasts and in the media.
