Collin Cadmus Podcast Growing Outreach to $300 Million and AI Agents w/ Manny Medina, Founder of Outreach
Hello and welcome back to the Collin Cadmus Podcast. Today I’m joined by Manny Medina.
Manny received his bachelors degree in computer engineering before attending University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University for his MBAs. He then worked in Product Management at Amazon and Business Development at Microsoft before serving as CEO for GroupTalent, but you know him best as the Founder & CEO of Outreach where he served for the past 11 years.
With all that experience in the rear view, I’m excited to get his thoughts on all that’s changing in B2B sales and what’s led us to this new world of sales and AI agents.
