Major players like Google and Microsoft use acquihires to gain specialized expertise and proprietary technology rapidly. This strategy, driven by intense talent competition and regulatory uncertainty, helps companies expedite AI development and maintain a competitive edge.

                                    When a new Head of Marketing joins, everyone rushes in with ideas - new deck, new brand, new campaign - and nothing tied to pipeline gets finished. Slow the chaos early. Align on two or three measurable goals for the first 90 days, make them public, and be explicit about what marketing isn't touching yet. Then help them deliver something visible that earns trust - refresh the homepage, fix demo follow-ups, or launch one targeted campaign that actually brings in leads.
                                &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

Either you're an attention spike - the kind of team, traction, or market that investors chase on instinct - or you're an explainer, where belief builds through conversation and time. This post breaks down how to tell which you are and why it matters.

                                    Product roadmaps should be treated as prototypes, focusing on adaptability and learning, rather than rigid delivery contracts. A flexible roadmap, like the Now-Next-Later model, encourages teams to test assumptions, iterate based on feedback, and keep strategies aligned with changing environments. By emphasizing the process over the end product, roadmapping builds resilience and ensures strategies remain relevant and effective.
                                &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;

What matters most isn't which one you start as, but who you're becoming while you build.
