Defining the role of today's CRO
The role of the modern Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) has evolved from a head of sales to a strategic orchestrator of value. This session will explore what it truly means to drive revenue in today’s complex world by moving beyond a fragmented, discordant approach to a cohesive, masterfully conducted strategy. We'll delve into the new mandate for CROs, focusing on the "Three Cs" of success: Courageous Leaders who empower their teams, a Collaborative Culture that fosters transparency, and Conquering with Tools that leverage technology like AI to build stronger customer relationships. This talk is for any leader who wants to stop simply managing a number and start conducting predictable and profitable growth.
