On this very special episode of The Intelligent Inbound® Podcast, recorded at INBOUND 2022, Jen talks with Stephanie, Chief Revenue Officer of SmartBug, about what it’s like to be a woman in a C-suite executive leadership role today.

The path to success hasn’t been easy for either of these women, from first launching their careers, to working their way up the corporate ladder.
