Quotes
“What we are doing is so fundamentally transformative for our customers that we have to invest in those relationships, and get the executive suites to understand the problems that [customers] are trying to solve and the transformations they're trying to lead, and then truly partner with them to do it. That informs almost every decision that we make, including the decisions that we make about the product, what products that we build and what features to prioritize and how we need to accomplish that because it is fundamental.”
