The guest this week on The CMO Podcast is Maya Wasserman, the Head of Marketing for Personal Entertainment, Home Entertainment and Brand Marketing for Sony Electronics. Maya oversees a large scope of products–from TVs, soundbars, headphones, and more.

Founded in Japan in 1946 by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, Sony has been a fixture in popular culture for the better part of eight decades–think WalkMan, Playstation, and Watchman. Today, Sony does about $90 billion in revenue globally, with 109,000 employees. It holds an incredible 95K patents, but it had humble beginnings; Sony’s first product was a rice cooker.

Maya has worked at Sony for the past 13.5 years, with about six months in her current role as Head of Marketing. After earning a degree from UCLA, Maya started her career in a talent agency before going to Sony Pictures for three years. From there, she had stints in two PR agencies, and ultimately returned to Sony in 2011. Maya joins Jim to talk about her career so far, including her most recent promotion, and a love of yoga and the outdoors.
