    The Junior Analyst in the Room: How AI Is Changing the CFO's Job

    Matt Jacobson has spent 30 years in finance, investment banking, corporate strategy, venture investing, and the last 12 building and scaling venture-backed companies as CFO and COO. He's developed a simple framework for how careers and organizations grow: learning, doing, building. And in his telling, none of those phases ever fully ends. In this episode of GoToMasters Finance Fireside, Matt breaks down what it actually means to build sustainable finance operations at a high-growth SaaS company, getting org structure right before anything else, assigning real ownership rather than tasks, and compounding small improvements week over week until the gap between where you started and where you are becomes undeniable. He's equally direct on AI. Not hype, not magic, treat it like a junior analyst. It needs good prompts, constant correction, and a human who knows when the output is wrong. But when it works, it buys back the 15 and 30-minute chunks of time that add up to hours of strategic thinking you couldn't access before. He also gets into comp plan design from a CFO's lens: why the instinct to set a 10% commission rate without checking the math against ACV and deal cycle is how you set reps up to fail and what RevOps actually needs to do to connect sales, finance, and operations without creating friction. If you work in finance, RevOps, or GTM leadership at a growth-stage company, this one pays off.

    Speed Is the Hype. Signal Quality Is What Matters: Courtney Hickey on AI, Comp Trust, and RevOps Done Right

    Courtney Hickey is the Director of Revenue Operations at ParentSquare, a K12 communication platform serving school districts across the US. She didn't come up through traditional RevOps channels — she started in administrative and legal roles, learned the business by sitting in on executive conversations, and built her way into operations from the ground up. On this episode of the Go To Masters Show, she shares what that unconventional path taught her about designing systems that flex, where comp plans break trust before anyone notices, and why she thinks AI's biggest promise has nothing to do with speed. Why rigidity is the biggest risk in RevOps and why falling in love with the problem beats falling in love with the processThe quiet side of comp trust erosion: when the RevOps team can't explain the plan either, you've already lost on both endsWhy AI's real value isn't speed but signal quality, and what it looks like when teams build for the wrong metric

    Any Comp Plan Is a Behavioral Experiment: Evgenia Vereshchak on RevOps, Incentives, and What Breaks First

    Evgenia Vereshchak is the Director of Revenue Operations at Procurify, a spend management platform built for mid-market companies, based in Vancouver. She spent eight years at the company, starting as a BDR before moving into RevOps. On this episode of the Go To Masters Show, she shares what building a RevOps function from scratch actually requires, why process has to come before tools, and what most teams get wrong about comp planning before they ever run the numbers. Why RevOps should never sit under sales, and what happens to long-term revenue health when it doesThe right order for building RevOps from scratch: ICP clarity and customer lifecycle first, team accountability second, tech stack lastWhy every comp plan is a behavioral experiment, and why modeling at 50%, 80%, and 100% attainment before rollout is non-negotiable

    The Five-Pillar RevOps Framework with Jatinder Dohil

    Jatinder Dohil is the Global Head of Revenue Operations at ThetaRay, where they build AI-powered tools to help financial institutions detect money laundering and human trafficking. Before ThetaRay, he spent 20 years in revenue operations across organizations ranging from 10,000+ employees to early-stage startups. In this episode, Jatinder breaks down his five-pillar RevOps framework: data and insights, systems, process, commissions planning, and customer 360. He explains why forecasting accuracy within a 5% threshold changes how the entire business plans, shares a salary analogy that makes unpredictable revenue feel personal, and talks about how AI tools like Copilot are changing what sales reps can focus on during live conversations. He also gets specific on commission planning and CPQ: why simplicity matters more than sophistication, what good CRM hygiene actually requires, and the three things he’d tell anyone building a RevOps function from scratch. Topics covered: RevOps frameworks, forecasting and predictability, commission planning, CPQ implementation, AI in revenue operations, CRM structure, and building RevOps teams across company sizes.

  5. From Noise to Signal: How Proximity to Reps Changes Comp Design

    From Noise to Signal: How Proximity to Reps Changes Comp Design

    Samantha Joswick is the Senior Manager of Sales Operations at H2O.ai, where she owns the full GTM engine: compensation, deal desk, analytics, and systems. Before H2O.ai, she spent several years at Adobe working on product-level comp plans for the global digital marketing sales organization, and led end-to-end compensation at Intermedia Cloud Communications. In this episode, Samantha talks about how she fell into sales ops by accident, spotted a quota overlap at Adobe that leadership was dismissing as rep complaints, and used data to prove it was structural. She shares her framework for comp design: start with the math, but don’t worship it. Use quantitative models as guardrails, then layer on qualitative context from the field to figure out what’s actually sustainable. She also covers how owning deal desk changed the way she thinks about incentives across the full deal lifecycle, where AI adds real value in sales ops (and where human judgment still has to stay in the loop), and her three pieces of advice for anyone building a career in the space: get close to the field, respect the data without worshiping it, and think in systems.

On this episode of the Go To Masters Show, he shares what two decades of market-building in Latin America actually taught him about partnerships, talent gaps, local nuance, and why the companies that get the region right go partner-first before anything else. Why partner-first isn't optional in LATAM, and the billing, collections, compliance, and talent realities that make going direct alone a costly mistakeThe three lessons from Microsoft and Google he still runs GTM by today: data-driven decisions, measurable goals at every level, and the discipline of execution cadenceHow AI is changing sales operations from the inside, and the real-time backend performance bottleneck that most operators never think about Connect with Andre: LinkedIn Follow us: LinkedIn | X

Why 80% of finance use cases are automatable today, and what the companies sitting on the sidelines will face in five yearsThe three-part leadership framework Jason learned from a mentor (command, calm, and candor), and why candor sometimes means walking away from revenueHow he unified distributed teams across three geographies by fixing the one thing most global leaders overlook: inclusion in the same room at the same time Connect with Jason: LinkedIn Follow us: LinkedIn | X
