013 TripActions CMO Meagen Eisenberg - Make Sure That Youre The Best At It
This week’s podcast was incredible. I had the opportunity to interview Meagen Eisenberg, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at TripActions. Prior to joining TripActions, Meagen was CMO at Mongo Database (MDB), a company we have owned in our portfolio for more than a year, and before that, Vice President of Marketing and Customer Acquisition at Docusign (DOCU). These are three incredible companies, and in my opinion, Meagen was a big part of what made each of them successful.

We want to share our process and help inspire others to do their own research, find founder-led stocks they love, and invest their own money.
