Description
I'm a really big believer in the idea of a unified RevOps function supporting all the go-to-market teams.
But I'll be honest, sometimes it's a little discouraging when I look at how RevOps is done in practice, because outside of a few examples, I usually see essentially a sales ops function with a new name.
So I wanted to find people who are actually leading a unified RevOps team in the real world and to understand how they're doing it and how it's working out for them.
Today's guest is leading a very mature RevOps function at Electric and has a ton of practical insight to share.
