Paradox of Choice: Sam Allen on Rationalizing the Martech Stack


Listen Later

Drew Smith hosts Sam Allen, CEO of Iterable, to talk about leading through the chaos of modern Martech, AI, and revenue pressure. Fresh off an 11-year run as a senior Salesforce executive and with an early career in the U.S. Marine Corps, Sam shares how a values-driven, execution-focused mindset shapes his approach to scaling go-to-market teams.

They dive into the explosion of marketing tools (and the paradox of choice), why tech stack rationalization and modernization are now non-negotiable, and how AI enables true micro-cohorting and rapid experimentation without replacing human oversight. Sam also explains why attribution has to cover both sourcing and maturation, and how giving sales and marketing a shared number is key to killing the "black box" perception of marketing.

Tune in if you're wrestling with tech sprawl, trying to make AI actually usable, or looking for a better way to align sales and marketing around revenue.
