The Rise of the Strategic CCO: Roundtables
CEOs are finally focusing on the post-sale lifecycle of the customer. It’s a positive trend, but if Customer Success leaders only “ride the wave” they’ll be left behind. This shift in focus requires proactive leadership from Customer Success to think about their role in the future of the company’s growth.
That’s why Nuffsaid launched the first magazine for Customer Success—to curate the best writing and latest thinking on how CS becomes more strategic at the executive level, thereby creating the future of how companies work.
This 4-part Q&A sessions continues that discussion: It brings together magazine contributors and guests, all thoughtful leaders in the space, to share ideas for moving the function of Customer Success forward.
