Dan O’Connell

We talk to Dan O'Connell, who got his start at Google at the age of 22 back in 2003 and after a 9 year journey, went to scale the sales team at Adroll.com. After a successful career in Ad Tech, Dan became the CEO and President of TalkIQ where within 18 months he helped lead the company through a successful acquisition. Dan is now the Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Revenue Officer at Dialpad.

Dan has done it all and has successfully built highly cohesive and scalable teams as both a sales leader and CEO, and we are fortunate he shares some of his playbook and actionable advice on this topic. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed!

Carin Van Vuuren

Carin's a dynamic marketing leader with a track record of delivering growth through the combination of Brand, Digital, and Strategic Marketing. On today's episode, we discussed many things with a majority of them not being related to her expertise in marketing. We were lucky to have Carin share with us her up-bringing, her view on how leaders can cultivate a sense of belonging and inclusion at work, what she has learned from beekeeping and boating, as well as the importance of servant leadership, communication and personal development.

Carin has extensive experience with B2B and B2C clients to create and redefine their Brand, corporate marketing and stakeholder engagement strategies. She has worked with companies like Capgemini, UPS, Johnson & Johnson (Janssen), Ritz Carlton, Chanel, Behr and Xoom (part of PayPal) on brand and digital transformation (mobile) strategies.

Maria Pergolino

Maria Pergolino is Fearless.

Having led demand generation at the company that invented demand generation, a successful run at Apttus, Anaplan and now as CMO at ActiveCampaign, there’s no question that Maria knows a thing or two about B2B marketing. She has built some of the best marketing teams in Silicon Valley, and as time allows, pays it forward by sharing her best practices with the industry that she herself helped shape.

That’s how I first got introduced to Maria and thrilled to have her on this week's episode.
