Topline is excited to introduce our newest segment – Topline Spotlight. In this series, our hosts sit down with top B2B tech leaders to explore the biggest challenges they've faced and how they conquered them.

For the debut episode, Sam and Asad interview AJ Bruno, CEO of QuotaPath and co-host of Topline, to reflect on his experience navigating significant headcount cuts nearly two years ago. AJ opens up about the emotional and strategic challenges of reducing his workforce by 30%, the effect on company morale, and the surprising advantages of operating with a leaner team. He shares valuable insights on aligning organizational goals with top talent and the key lessons he's carried forward.
