The reason is that good attributes apply equally well to “external” partners, as they do to internal partners, like a co-founder or CTO. A good overall example is the synergy between Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, as well as long-time Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. Conflicting visions won’t work. Marty Zwilling.

If both of you are experts at software development, even though one loves design and the other loves coding, that still won’t get the marketing done. Similar values and goals. Level of integrity.

The most common ones I see and salute are CEO, CFO, and CTO. The more conventional VP of Marketing role should cover branding, as well as other marketing advertising, design, public relations and customer service requirements. More executives, or other more creative titles are seen as a big red flag. Chief Risk Officer.

It''s designed for business people. I was hired to head up strategy, marketing development, and product management. It''s built and deployed as a service in the cloud, with nothing to install. It''s not a programming tool, even though it uses a lot of big data. It''s an easy to use, simple package, and not complicated.

The way we dealt with this issue is that we took each senior exec in the company (including the CFO and the CTO) and assigned them to important accounts. But overriding sales leadership is as destructive as overriding product management. There was always a sales leader on the account and that person got to decide how to use you.

What we've done a lot is really focused on hiring.

Sure, there are roles like CTO or CIO, but the input and decision making process has remained fairly static. With the trend to higher technology needs and the youth who are involved in the development of new technology, it is no longer unusual to walk into a board meeting and see a CTO in his early 40s. Today’s boardroom.

The conversations bleed into the sales messages the next time, they wend their way into software designs and form the plan of attach against competition. And that rep doesn’t just send an email to his boss – he has coffee with the head of customer service. I prefer the first sales hires to be in the home office.
