In this conversation with Coach K, Alina—Co-CEO of Chili Piper—reveals the uncomfortable truth about AI that nobody's talking about: it won't replace your job, but it WILL force you to completely reinvent yourself.

She walks through her journey from communist Romania with a "CEO or bust" mentality, to a devastating realization that she couldn't save everyone, to now leading a company navigating the biggest technological shift of our lifetime. But here's the thing—she's not afraid anymore. And she explains exactly why you shouldn't be either.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

How Alina went from paralyzed confusion about AI replacing her employees to genuinely excited about what's possible. She breaks down the one thing most companies get wrong when building AI infrastructure (hint: it's not about the tools—it's about alignment).

You'll hear the behind-the-scenes story of how Chili Piper unified their data across sales, marketing, and customer success into Snowflake, then used it to answer questions like "Why do buyers actually switch to us?" and "What messages actually move deals?" The answer? It took locking their team in a room and forcing executives to leave their egos at the door.

Then she shares the framework for automating soul-crushing tasks without destroying your team—and why the future of GTM is actually MORE human, not less.

THE MINDSET SHIFT:

The biggest insight isn't about technology. It's this: AI amplifies what makes YOU unique. It can't replace you. It can augment you. And everyone who's terrified right now is missing the most important opportunity of their career.

"We're all phoenixes in the ashes right now," Alina says. This is the conversation about what that actually means—and what you need to do about it.

PERFECT FOR: GTM leaders, founders, SDRs, marketers, anyone feeling overwhelmed by AI and wondering where to actually start.
