Three CMOs of multibillion-dollar tech companies share the secrets to success they wish all CEOs knew

– Marketing moves. Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of moderating a conversation between three high-level, repeat CMOs at March Capital’s annual Montgomery Summit in Los Angeles. In between discussion of the right time for a startup to hire a true CMO, the latest uses of AI in marketing, and go-to-market strategies, another topic kept surfacing: what CMOs wish their CEOs knew.

Marketing can be a mystery to founders and CEOs—especially in tech. Sometimes, they hire a top-dollar marketer and don’t know what to do with them.
