Two types of Founders/CEOs

Vertika Nigam

There's always a difference between products that have the CEO with a marketing background, and others that have the CEO as a development background. (there are others too, but let's just keep this conversation focused on these two) Can you tell what it is? ____________ P.S. We're launching cxful - the UIUX suite and design system for complete and functional website experiences. Would love to have your support!

I have experience in both fields, including a strong background in UI/UX, which allows me to connect all the dots and make better decisions when building my products.

Founders and CEOs with a marketing background tend to prioritize customer acquisition, brand awareness, and market positioning. They understand the importance of messaging, user experience, and branding in order to connect with the target audience and drive sales. On the other hand, CEOs with a development background often focus on product functionality, innovation, and technical aspects. They are driven by creating cutting-edge solutions, optimizing processes, and ensuring that the product meets high standards of quality.

Totally agree, Vertika. Do you think it's easier for a marketing CEO to learn tech, or for a tech CEO to learn marketing?

@angeliesmith_ I believe, one doesn't need to "learn" a whole new craft. Hire the right people and teams who complement your skills, and let them do their job, trust them. Nothing wrong with learning each other's thing, but that will just delay everything for the company as a whole.

Ah, the classic tale of the marketing maestro vs. the coding connoisseur! One crafts captivating narratives, while the other weaves intricate algorithms. It's like watching a battle between words and lines of code, with the website as the ultimate arena!

@thestarkster Did you write this yourself? Quite flowery! But correct, nonetheless.
"The thing is, you can’t live in your potential" suggests that merely having potential is not enough; you must actively pursue and realize it. Potential represents unutilized abilities and talents, but without action, it remains just that—unfulfilled possibility. To live a meaningful and successful life, one must take deliberate steps to harness and actualize their potential through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. It's a reminder that success and achievement come from effort and application, not from latent capability alone. Therefore, to truly live up to one's potential, one must set goals, make plans, and take consistent actions toward achieving them. For more visit our site https://www.roofersgreenvillenc....
