In this episode of B2B Marketing: The Provocative Truth, Benedict speaks to Matthew Harper about redefining the role of the CMO. Not only is the role of the CMO not understood by the rest of the business, the CMOs themselves sometimes hardly know how to be effective leaders for their company. This has led to the CMO having the shortest tenure of any role in the C-suite. But it doesn’t have to be like this. What it means to be an effective CMO has changed, and it’s within reach of CMOs to excel at their role, but this does require reevaluating what are the priorities and what relationships with the rest of the business need to look like. Matthew Harper is a dynamic, results-driven senior marketing professional with 20 years of experience across the international technology industry. Primarily, Matt has worked in enterprise SaaS, developer tools, AI platforms, and more. Matt is CMO of LinearB, and his previous experience includes VP of Marketing at Mattermost, VP of Marketing at Nylas, VP of Marketing at Moogsoft, and more. You can find Matthew Harper on Linkedin.
