Preparing CROs & CEOs for the future of B2B SaaS | GTMshift | CRO Functional Head @ Pavilion | Former CRO | Co-Founder @ PreSales Collective (Acquired) | Breaking The GTM Playbook |

🇬🇧 London, you ALWAYS deliver! The conversations this week were electric, and it’s clear everyone is leaning into the GTM evolution. It was an absolute blast reconnecting with friends and peers and keynoting DemoFestx. Across dozens of conversations, one thing stood out: The future of go-to-market is shifting. And it’s moving quickly! As my friend Yuji Higashi put it best, “no one has everything figured out.” Special thanks to my friends at Consensus for inviting me to present “The Future of Go-To-Market is Customer-Focused & AI-Powered” (more on this topic coming next week). DemoFest remains one of my favorite events of the year, and I’m truly thankful for the opportunity to share my insights to strengthen this incredible community! Thank you to those who joined the session and shared their takeaways (recording coming soon). EMEA friends, see you next time. Now it’s time to get back to work. Stay tuned for more from GTMshift as we are just getting started.

"Stop updating your playbooks; rewrite them." Is my take away from your keynote. Can wait to meet you again James.... in Paris 🙄

The GTM world is officially in its “AI + customer obsession” era… and leaders who don’t evolve their motion around that are going to be left rewriting playbooks they didn’t author. Excited to see where you and the GTMshift crew take this next. Let’s go James Kaikis
