So far on the Podcast, we have had builders & sellers but in today’s episode we’re going to focus on the buyer. We will probe into the mind of a CIO who owns multi-million $ budgets to procure a SaaS and a B2B product. We’ll deep dive into what goes into the product selection, retention and expansion. To talk about that and more, we have Naveen Zutshi, CIO of Palo Alto Networks. Naveen is an industry veteran with decades of experience building and buying technology products. He has a curious mind and loves to experiment with different products and technologies. If there’s a B2B tool out there, chances are that Naveen has either experimented with it or written a check for 100s of 1000s of dollars. He is also an advisor at several startups and large companies including Zoom, Rubrik and Cyberstarts. He is also in the CIO board of advisory at Greylock.
If you are an entrepreneur focusing on the $2 Trillion plus IT market, you don’t want to miss this episode.
