It can be easy to get lost in sort of the work of moving the business forward and sometimes the human aspect of bringing people along, of helping those people learn new things and evolving them into leaders and

folks that can help the business proliferate and thrive and survive is as important as any of the work that's been done today.

Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the

C.O. Alliance and brought to you by its founder, Cameron Herald. In the

Second in Command Podcast, we talked to top COOs who share the insights, strategies, and tactics that made

them the chief behind the chief.

And now here's your host, Cameron Harold.

All right, so I am super excited about today's podcast. You're gonna love it. It is Samir Kasi who is the president of

active campaign. He has a great background. He used to work with

exact target. Scott Dorsey was part of the leadership team over at exact target when we were required

by sales force for $ 2.7 billion dollars was

then an executive d. P. at Salesforce built another company that sold the

Sprout Social and he was now president of active campaign has got his NBA.

Gonna be talking just a lot about his leadership ideas, his focus on execution around

kind of deep product domain expertise, really focusing around financial

acting and teaching all of his leadership teams some stuff on the

financials but really interesting to hear somebody who is at the most senior

level and how he actually came into a company as well when they had 800 employees and he was able to join the company as the president.

Also the first president in history for active campaign, the CEO, Jason, bringing in

Simir as president. So you'll enjoy today's episode and hopefully you enjoy it and share it as well.

Hey Samir, thank you for joining us and welcome to the Second and Grand podcast.
