Description

The CRO Spotlight Podcast examines the CRO role from both sides — the companies that hire them and the leaders who take the seat. Host Warren Zenna, founder of CRO Collective and author of “What Chief Revenue Officers Actually Do,” brings diagnostic frameworks and pattern recognition from working both sides of the equation to every conversation.
