#248 Marketing Strategy | Dave sits down with Jaleh Rezaei, founder and CEO of Mutiny, the personalization platform for B2B websites. Jaleh brings a unique blend of founder perspective and deep marketing expertise from her time building go-to-market teams at VMware, Gusto, and now Mutiny. She’s on a mission to help marketers ditch the spammy, scaled playbooks of the past and refocus on what really drives pipeline today: buyer experience. 

Dave and Jaleh cover:

• Why the current use of AI is making marketing worse and how to use it to build better buying experiences instead
• What marketers get wrong about speed (hint: it’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what matters)
• The principles of simplifying your go-to-market strategy to cut through noise and align your team around real revenue results

Marketing is changing fast, but the teams who win will be the ones who prioritize real buyer experiences, move with speed, and stay aligned on what actually drives revenue. Jaleh breaks down how to make that shift before your strategy gets left behind.
