Panel Discussion
Description
SolarWinds’ success is based on aggressively executing a disruptive business model. We turn the traditional enterprise model on its head and that forces radical change to almost every aspect of the product, sales, and marketing process. Over the years (pre and post IPO), we’ve developed a specific way of approach the PM and PMM functions. In this session, our panel will give an overview of how we do it and then (and during) encourage a vigorous Q&A session.
