Wow - with this impressive list of modern companies she will turn around our legacy image in no time. The website she built last for a failing company taken over by private equity says “started in 1923, but built for today.” She will fit right in at TDC. Seriously we could not get anyone from a modern, successful tech company? Our recruiters must advertise “looking for mediocre executives to run our mediocre business- no cloud experience required”

DEI! Isn’t it wonderful? You can feel good about it as you go online to sign up for unemployment.
Yea, now the new CMO can go after HA for having a cr---y product with no meaningful new products to market. #BlameGame2022
It’s going to be fun to watch the cat fights. Claws will be coming out soon.
“Founded in 1923, Built for Today!” LOL we have a new Marketing genius at Teradata!
Her background and experience is pretty lukewarm-but TDC is lukewarm too so it’s probably a good fit
Diversity hires are tough to find at that level. The Peter Principle in action. Instead of relevant experience, we get a woke poster child. Oh well, we’re doomed anyway.
I don't think any experienced CMO can help unless we come up with a new product or partner up with someone (ha!) -- until then it'll be the same message. A lot of us are definitely leaning back and watching to see what she'll do with R.C.'s "COE" though!
I’m sure she is excited. She just left an 80 year old dying company taken over by private equity. And she got a huge raise too. But what about her background should get us excited that’s she’s our CMO?
she started monday, 12/6. been great to hear how excited she is to be on the team, that she's already pumping us up and can't wait to make a difference.
Either that or nothing at all. total silence. I bet you can guess which.
Don’t blame the recruiters. You think you could convince smart successful executives to join Teradata? No chance. Hence we end up with the basket of unimpressive ELT members we have. And even though they are painfully average we still have to pay them a lot to come here. A losing proposition for the average employees. Sad.
That’s the same recruiting message we used to land SM. Plus, no previous CEO experience required, come learn on our dime.
