It’s an interesting time to be a CMO. Marketing spend is under scrutiny, as it so often is, buying habits are changing and AI is threatening to upend a number of aspects of sales and marketing we thought we knew.

All of that adds more complexity to a leadership role that already requires people skills, an analytical mind and a healthy dose of creativity.

In this episode of Conversations with MarTech, we’re talking to Steven Quach, CMO at Pipedrive, about his first few months as a CMO.
