ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Debbie Qaqish is a nationally-recognized pioneer in B2B marketing, author, speaker, and partner at The Pedowitz Group. She’s dedicated her 35-year career to helping marketers gain a seat and a voice in the boardroom.
As a marketing executive, she purchased her first marketing automation system in 2004. That early experience formed her opinion that emerging technologies were forever changing the role of marketing—in a big way. In 2007, Dr. Qaqish moved from practitioner to trusted advisor for marketing leaders when she became a partner of the Pedowitz Group.
As a marketing pioneer, Dr. Qaqish coined the term “Revenue Marketing” in 2010, introduced the Revenue Marketing Journey model in 2011, and published her prize-winning first book, The Rise of The Revenue Marketer, in 2013.
This book, From Backroom to Boardroom: Earn Your Seat with Strategic Marketing Operations, introduces a new lexicon and roadmap for marketing.
