April 23: Marcus Holm | LaunchDarkly

Need direction on how a PLG motion and cold outbound prospecting can work in harmony?

Looking for tips on how to avoid the “dev tool trap?”

Marcus Holm, CRO of LaunchDarkly, is a dev tool veteran who helped transition LaunchDarkly to an outbound-oriented, value sales-centric GTM organization.

Prior to joining LaunchDarkly, he built the sales org zero to one at Forter, led Global Account Sales at VMWare, and held various sales leadership roles at Heptio and Cloudera.

Marcus will be diving into LaunchDarkly's successful transition from purely PLG to a strong SLG motion where product-led and cold outbound prospecting live together in harmony. 

We’re so excited to host Marcus for an AMA masterclass in dev tool GTM.

We'll cover:

• Avoiding the “dev tool trap” when transitioning from PLG to SLG motion
• Building personal brands in B2B (his take might surprise you!)
• AI hacks that are transforming both professional and personal workflows 
• The future of unified intent signals in predictable pipeline generation
