    The Old Playbook Is Dead: MOps in the Age of AI with Jon Miller

    Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show! The traditional B2B marketing playbook is becoming irrelevant. At the same time, AI is fundamentally transforming how buyers research, evaluate, and purchase. In this episode of Ops Cast, Michael Hartmann is joined by Naomi Liu and Mike Rizzo for a wide-ranging conversation with Jon Miller. Jon co-founded Marketo, helped define modern Marketing Operations, later co-founded Engagio, and is now the Co-Founder and CEO of a stealth AI startup focused on the future of buying behavior and revenue systems. This conversation challenges long-held assumptions about campaigns, MQLs, attribution, and the systems Marketing Ops teams have relied on for over a decade.  Jon explains why rules-based automation is not sufficient now, how AI changes what marketing platforms must do, and what it means to move from campaigns to AI-orchestrated experiences. The panel also explores buying groups, lifecycle orchestration across anonymous and known buyers, and how Marketing Ops can operationalize trust, brand, and customer experience in a world where AI filters much of what buyers see. The topics that we covered include:  • Why the traditional B2B playbook is no longer working  • How AI shifts marketing from campaigns to orchestration  • What it really takes to operationalize buying groups  • Why MQLs and last-touch attribution are losing relevance  • How Marketing Ops can build infrastructure for modern buying behavior  • The evolving role of Marketing Ops in 2026 and beyond  • Where AI is genuinely useful today versus oversold If you work in Marketing Ops, RevOps, or revenue leadership, this episode will push you to rethink the systems you are building and how artificial intelligence can transform them.

    Leading With Heart in a Systems World: Accountability, Empathy, and the Human Side of Ops with Kimi Corrigan

    Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show! In this episode of Ops Cast, we explore a side of operations leadership that rarely appears in roadmaps or system diagrams but determines whether teams thrive or burn out. Kimi Corrigan, Vice President of Marketing Operations at Huntress, joins Michael Hartmann on our latest Ops Cast episode. Kimi shares her perspective on servant leadership, psychological safety, and the emotional intelligence required to lead effectively inside fast-growing, complex organizations. The conversation goes beyond tools and processes to focus on the human side of operations. Kimi discusses how to lead with empathy without lowering standards, how to navigate difficult conversations with honesty and accountability, and how to create sustainable team rhythms in environments that often default to constant firefighting. They also examine how ops leaders can enter new organizations thoughtfully, read culture before pushing change, and decide where to invest their energy early.  Kimi shares where AI can genuinely support leadership development, not as a replacement for judgment, but as a tool for reflection, communication, and clarity. What you will learn:  • How to balance servant leadership with high performance expectations  • Why psychological safety is essential in ops teams  • How to lead through growth and organizational transition  • Ways to build sustainable team trust outside of crisis moments  • The non-technical skills that prepare operators for leadership roles  • Where AI can strengthen communication and self-awareness If you are leading a Marketing Ops team or aspiring to step into leadership, this episode highlights the interpersonal skills that often matter more than technical mastery.

    Cold Email, Spam, and the Trust Gap: What B2B Can Learn from B2C with Jacqueline Freedman

    Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show! In this episode of Ops Cast, Michael Hartmann sits down with Jacqueline Freedman, CEO and Founder of Monarch Advisory Partners and Global Head of Advisory at The Martech Weekly, to discuss where modern marketing outreach has crossed the line from helpful to harmful. Jacqueline brings experience across B2B and B2C environments and challenges one of the most uncomfortable truths in marketing today: much of what we call cold outreach is still spam, just better branded.  The conversation explores how incentive structures drive volume at the expense of trust, why deliverability issues are often symptoms of deeper misalignment, and what leaders need to rethink about how they show up in buyers’ inboxes. They also discuss the difference between compliance and consent, how fragmented sending erodes inbox credibility, and why marketers cannot subject-line their way out of systemic problems.  Along the way, Jacqueline shares what B2B can learn from B2C about respecting attention, and what B2C can learn from B2B about discipline, governance, and durability. What you will learn:  • Why cold email fatigue is an incentive problem, not just a messaging problem  • The behaviors that quietly damage deliverability over time  • How to know when it is time to bring in specialized deliverability expertise  • Why serious tone does not equal credibility in B2B  • How to distinguish real thought leadership from polished noise  • What responsibility operators have when narrative drifts from reality If you care about sustainable growth, brand trust, and long-term deliverability, this episode will challenge how you think about outreach and accountability.

    Building Demand Gen Inside a Giant Organization: Lessons from Enterprise Change with Rachel Roundy

    Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show! In this episode of Ops Cast, we dig into what it really takes to build demand generation and revenue marketing capability inside a large enterprise organization. Michael Hartmann is joined by Rachel Roundy, Product Marketing Lead for AI at Snowflake. Before Snowflake, Rachel spent more than four years inside a legacy enterprise technology company, where she helped lead a cross-functional tiger team tasked with building modern demand generation and revenue marketing capabilities at scale. This conversation explores the reality of enterprise marketing, where strategy and execution often live far apart, tech stacks are outdated, ownership is fragmented, and meaningful change must happen without direct authority.  Rachel shares what it was like working inside systems that felt frozen in time, uncovering unused or partially implemented tools, and compensating for missing fundamentals like attribution and source tracking through manual processes and spreadsheets. You will hear how marketing and operations teams often struggle to understand each other’s worlds, why that gap persists in large organizations, and what happens when those two sides finally align.  Topics covered include:  • Building demand generation inside large enterprises  • Leading cross-functional change without formal authority  • The gap between marketing strategy and operational execution  • Working around outdated or underutilized tech stacks  • Lessons from enterprise transformation efforts  • How marketers and ops teams can become better partners This episode is especially relevant for Marketing Ops, Demand Gen, and Revenue Marketing leaders working inside complex, legacy organizations who are trying to modernize systems, processes, and mindsets.

    Metrics That Matter: Turning RevOps Data into Executive Decisions with Josh McClanahan

    Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show! In this episode of Ops Cast, we are talking about metrics, but not dashboards, tools, or attribution models for their own sake. Michael Hartmann is joined by our guest Josh McClanahan, Co-Founder and CEO of AccountAim. Josh brings a business operations perspective to reporting and analytics, working closely with leadership teams to identify which numbers actually matter and how to use them to make better decisions. This conversation focuses on the shift from reporting activity to driving action. Josh shares why many teams produce technically impressive metrics that fail to influence leadership, and how Ops professionals can reframe data in a way that connects directly to revenue, profitability, and how the business truly makes money. You will hear Josh break down which metrics executives care about most, including financial measures like LTV and CAC, how those metrics change as companies mature, and why explainability often matters more than precision. The group also discusses how Ops teams can decide when data is “good enough” to act on, how to prepare for executive conversations beyond pulling numbers, and the common mistakes teams make when data is presented without context. This episode is especially relevant for Marketing Ops, RevOps, and BizOps professionals who want to move from being seen as report builders to trusted business advisors. Topics covered include:  • The gap between reporting and decision-making  • Metrics that matter most to executives  • Financial literacy for Ops leaders  • Explainability versus complexity in analytics  • Communicating data in a way that drives action Make sure to watch this episode if you want to better align your reporting with business outcomes and elevate the impact of your Ops work.
