    Demystifying Go-to-Market Efficiency with Go Nimbly CEO Jen Igartua

    What does it really take to make go-to-market teams more efficient? Our guest on this episode, Jen Igartua, works on answering this question every day. Jen is the CEO of Go Nimbly, a 60-person RevOps agency for Mid-Market & Enterprise SaaS companies. With an amazing roster of clients that includes Zendesk, Twilio, Snowflake, Intercom, and others, she and her team help companies solve what’s getting in the way of growth. When you spend your days advising companies on how to operate more effectively, it’s easy to think you’ve seen it all. But not Jen. She's a relentless learner. In our conversation, we demystify what GTM efficiency actually looks like behind the scenes, how her team is implementing AI in practical ways for clients, and why, despite all of Go Nimbly’s success, she doesn’t really focus on innovating internally within their business.

    The Untapped Potential of Partner Operations with Euler CEO Greg Portnoy

    Partnerships teams often feel like the forgotten child of the go-to-market org—under-resourced, misunderstood, and held to different standards than their direct sales counterparts. Greg Portnoy is out to change that. Greg is the co-founder and CEO of Euler, the Home Base For Partnerships Teams. Drawing from his experience leading Partnerships teams at 4 different companies, Greg knows the difference between what works and what doesn't, and he's making the case for treating partnerships as a strategic business function—not just a side hustle for GTM. In our conversation, we talk about why Partner teams don’t get any love from RevOps, why measuring “Partner influence” isn’t the silver bullet most teams think it is, and how Partner teams and Partner Ops can tag-team to run experiments together.  Like this episode?

    AI Is the Tool, Not the Answer with Nara Logics CEO Jana Eggers (Live from Startup Week Boston)

    Rethinking Customer Success Playbooks with Mike Lemire (Live from Startup Week Boston)

    For a long time, post-sale teams haven’t received the attention they deserve. Companies have historically prioritized revenue growth over revenue protection, relying on human-intensive Customer Success models to keep customers happy. But the landscape is shifting—companies are rethinking how they structure their Customer Success teams, when and how to introduce Account Managers, and whether automation and scaled CS models can truly replace the human touch. In this episode, we sit down with Mike Lemire, a seasoned Customer Success executive with experience at Toast, HubSpot, and Overjet, who now runs his own executive coaching firm, Harmonic Leadership. In our conversation, Mike shares his insights on how to build the right post-sale team for your business, what CS leaders can learn from marketing, and why customer success is all about aligning trigger points with action items.

    How Canva Reinvented its Enterprise Sales Motion at $1B ARR with Aarti Raman

    Product-led and sales-led growth motions aren't binary; they exist on a spectrum. In this episode of Operations, we dive into the fascinating story of Canva’s go-to-market evolution with Aarti Raman, former Global Head of Revenue Strategy and Operations. Canva, the design platform valued at over $30 billion, had already surpassed $1B in ARR through a bottom-up product-led growth model. However, their B2B Enterprise sales model required a shift. In our conversation, Aarti shares the strategy behind transitioning Canva’s Enterprise team from a sales-led to a product-led model, the complexities of implementing pricing changes at their size, and why even at their scale, you still have to argue about what a PQL is. Don’t miss this deep dive into how Canva balanced product-led adoption with human-driven enterprise sales. Like this episode?
