Achieving Success Through Partnership (Panel)
summary
Panel argues that product management functions as the GM and product marketing as the CMO, and success hinges on tight operational partnership not vague roles. Cited wins include a demo-first selling sequence that rescued MobileIron onboarding, a pivot from system to silicon that led to acquisition by Broadcom, and Fortinet creating a unified threat management bundle to simplify pricing. They stress experiments in per-core pricing versus per-CPU, channel enablement failures, and tying product-marketing metrics directly to pipeline and closed revenue.
