In this podcast, Adam is joined by Selena Jankulovska, Area VP of Account Strategy at Komodo Health, and Shaun Porcar, former Director of Customer Success at Extole (now the Head of Customer Success at Run The World).

Selena and Shaun lay out what they wanted to accomplish in their roles, especially demonstrating the value of CS, and how that changed over time.
