DESCRIPTION

Most GTM teams operate in straight lines. Sangita Chakraborty believes they should function more like product organizations, with constant iteration, testing, and learning.


In this episode, the former CRO of Miro shares how applying product management principles helped her design go-to-market systems that reflect the full customer journey. She explains how her team ran structured GTM experiments, embraced cross-functional collaboration, and built systems for long-term customer growth. Kyle and Sangita also discuss why she believes the term “post-sales” is outdated, the mindset shift required to move from functional leadership to company leadership, what CROs need to understand about financial modeling, how to evaluate talent beyond the pitch, and more.
