Update: 2025-03-24

Description

On this episode of Embracing Erosion, Devon sits down with Gary Arnold, a seasoned go-to-market leader with a unique blend of experience across sales, product, and product marketing. Gary built and led the global product marketing function at PayPal and GoDaddy, and has served in sales leadership roles at Amazon and CardTapp, where he was the Chief Revenue Officer. They dive into marketecture building, how to measure platform success (vs revenue-based, siloed product KPIs), how he scaled a nascent product marketing function at PayPal to a team of 25, how AI is impacting every company's GTM motion including the decline of SEO and the rise of Generative Engine Optimization (or GEO), and much more. Enjoy the conversation!
