Quotes

“RevOps has been evolving and developing, and there's a misconception that Rev ops only for tech companies. I think, obviously, startups and tech companies kind of started using rev ops more as a prominent function and that engine of operational excellence. But the yield and the value of rev ops is relevant for any industry, whether it's healthcare, pharma, retail. Obviously the tech world is a little bit more matured and advanced on all the tech stacks processes and utilizing RevOps. But I think the value of RevOps is amazing across any industry.” - Mahesh Kedia
