On today’s episode of Scaleup Marketing, I’m joined by Rick Klau, a long-time startup entrepreneur, former operating partner at GV, and a Product Manager at Google where he worked on Blogger, Profiles, and the YouTube homepage. I wanted to talk to Rick about his work on the OKR framework used at Google, but we ended up talking about his journey from being a lawyer to blogger to product manager on some of the most widely used products in the world. 

On today’s episode of Scaleup Marketing I’m joined by Anthony Deighton, the Chief Product Officer at Tamr. Anthony has 20 years of experience in enterprise software, including 10+ years at Qlik growing it from an unknown Swedish software company to a public company and market leader.

Anthony and I talk about his experience building Qlik from the ground up, how product and product marketing teams need to work together, and what messaging development has in common with standup comedy.

On today’s episode of Scaleup Marketing, I talk to Eric Schurr, the former CMO of Carbon Black, and one of the best marketers to come out of the Boston tech ecosystem. I was told by a former boss of mine that Eric was the best product marketer he had ever worked with, and I think you’ll learn why in this episode. 

We talk about the importance of great product marketing, the need for product marketers to lead the go-to-market as the CMOs or their business, and how to make the sales and marketing relationship really work.
