  • What CROs really want from RevOps this year —featuring Epsilon, Cloudinary, and 6sense [Special episode]
    Jun 23 2025
    What does revenue leadership really expect from RevOps in 2025? In this special episode of The Sales Compensation Show, we’re bringing you three powerhouse CROs to discover exactly how they see this role's evolution and what's required today. Joining Forma.ai's Founder & CEO Nabeil Alazzam we have Susan Rothwell, Chief Revenue Officer at Epsilon, Allison Metcalfe, Chief Revenue Officer at Cloudinary, and Latané Conant, Chief Revenue Officer at 6sense. Together, they unpack how the RevOps-CRO partnership is changing—and what today’s leadership truly needs from operations teams. You’ll learn how RevOps can elevate beyond execution—actively shaping strategy and influencing outcomes, the metrics CROs care about most in 2025 (and what’s being deprioritized), how to walk the line between operational rigor and strategic agility, and why forecasting accuracy is not simply a nice-to-have anymore. If you're a RevOps leader (or aspiring to be one), this episode is terrific for understanding what the C-suite wishes they could tell you about how to partner with them.

    From carrying a quota at Microsoft to leading global GTM planning, comp, and systems at Snowflake, James Jackson has seen every side of high-growth—from scale to recalibration. In this episode, he joins Forma.ai CEO Nabeil Alazzam to unpack why sales comp plans should express (not set) strategy, how he helped rightsize GTM at Docusign post-hypergrowth phase, and the metric he used to do it. Plus: rebuilding comp credibility, translating exec priorities for the field, and designing for agility in a consumption-based world. It's a must-listen for GTM, RevOps, and sales comp leaders navigating complexity at scale.
