This week’s TOP CMO
Chris Koehler, CMO of Box, Inc.
On this week’s episode of TOP CMO, Ben Kaplan interviews Chris Koehler on his unconventional rise through the ranks, from VP of Customer Service to CMO. Learning to raise your hand, even when you might not be the best fit. Seeking opportunities beyond your imagination and outside your box (wink). And how his experience influenced his requirements when hiring: generalists vs. specialists, culture fit vs. skill.
Chris also tackles an issue important to most businesses: doing more with less. From being data-driven, and letting curiosity take you places you hadn’t explored, to widening your scope to seek answers in the people you least expect. All of this, plus a few tips for aspiring CMOs and his two cents on AI make this episode a must-listen.
Don’t miss out on his story and catch his best tips!
Psst!

Sailing through instructions
Manuals and handbooks can be a nuisance for anyone trying to get something done. Midway through, we all get the urge to ditch it and just go with our gut. More often than not, we end up having to go back to them reluctantly.
But have you ever wondered what lies in the pages and sections you choose to skip? Ever taken the time to read through, paying attention to the minuscule details? In this week’s episode of Unboredify!, Matt sure did, and he discovered the deepest secrets behind a dresser’s wood. You can hear them from a siren’s whisper for yourself.
Advocacy from the heart
Forrest Liu, an Asian Community Activist working to Stop Asian Hate, founded patrol groups to look out for fellow community members against hate crimes. In his interview with Ben Kaplan for We Are San Francisco, Forrest recalls the passional origins of his activism and how his movement grew as it resonated with more, and more people.
Listen to learn more about Forrest, his platform, and how to get involved with the cause.
