Many months in the making, our good friend Romain Marietta, Head of Product Design at Zenith finally made the long journey to Burlingame, and naturally, we're thrilled to have him back on the podcast (our first repeating guest) to chat about Zenith's not-so-distant past, its present, and some very exciting hints at its future. And per usual, Romain is not one to stay completely buttoned-up on brand secrets, making this an episode you don't want to miss.
