For the 93rd episode of our podcast, I interviewed Mark Gally, CEO at Zaius.
Mark is an experienced executive who has an innate ability to identify fragmented markets in technology that need consolidation. He also has a special talent with leading the go-to-market strategy for high growth software companies.
At Mark’s prior company, he was the Chief Revenue Officer at TribeHR, where he helped deliver 1,100% sales and 470% customer growth which led to an acquisition by NetSuite in 2013.
Zaius has built a B2C CRM system which is bringing together marketing automation, analytics and CRM software in one marketing platform. The company has raised over $50M to date, including a $30M Series B which was announced last year.
In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics, like:
- A journey through his professional career across multiple companies.
- Mark’s ability to grow a company’s market share, and his philosophy on go-to-market strategy.
- A deep dive into what Zaius does and how its B2C CRM works, plus a look into the size and scale of the company.
- Great advice for anyone trying to work their way into a CEO position.
- How Mark thinks about hiring, including one interesting tip that has benefited him in the long run.
- Plus, a lot more.
