How one leader swapped stability for the challenge of building a global brand with purpose and edge.
Joining Fiona in this episode: Pejman Roshan, CMO at Menlo Security
Pej knows what it’s like to play both sides of the marketing world — from years at Cisco working with the best, to now leading a lean global team competing with the industry Goliaths. In this candid conversation, we explore the mindset shift from corporate comfort to challenger grit, and what it takes to lead with creativity, courage, and commercial edge.
What will be explored in this episode:
- The transition from big-brand structure to startup speed — and what gets lost (and gained) along the way.
- How to cultivate a challenger mindset even inside large organisations.
- Lessons in leadership: inspiring lean teams to outperform industry giants.
- The role of creativity and courage when competing with better-funded rivals.
- Practical advice for marketing leaders navigating uncertainty and change.
