The Unlikely Alliance: How Partnering with Finance Secures RevOps' Seat at the Top Table
Earning a strategic seat at the top table is the ultimate goal for any ambitious RevOps leader. Yet, we are often stuck in a tactical loop, perceived as system administrators rather than business strategists. While aligning with the CRO/CCO is crucial, that path alone doesn't always guarantee a voice in top-level decision-making. This session reveals a powerful and often overlooked strategy to claim that seat: forging an 'unlikely alliance' with the CFO and Finance team. By becoming the engine of predictable, profitable growth and speaking the language of the boardroom, RevOps can secure its position as an indispensable strategic partner.
