Sample interview questions
I would begin with a fact-based diagnostic of customer segments, retention, unit economics, pipeline quality, product usage, team capability, and competitive positioning. I would align the leadership team on a small number of measurable priorities, then create a 90-day plan that protects core revenue while validating the highest-value growth and efficiency opportunities.
I treat PLG and enterprise sales as complementary motions with distinct customer journeys and economics. I use product signals to identify qualified expansion opportunities, ensure sales adds value in complex accounts, and align product, marketing, and sales metrics around activation, conversion, retention, and expansion.
I set a clear operating plan with driver-based forecasts, explicit investment hypotheses, and leading indicators for every major initiative. I review performance regularly, reallocate resources quickly when evidence changes, and protect investments that improve durable retention, efficiency, or strategic differentiation.
I define clear outcomes and decision rights, hire leaders with complementary strengths and high ownership, and establish a regular cadence for coaching and accountability. I also build succession depth, address misalignment early, and ensure the leadership team models the culture expected across the company.
I would focus first on customer and business problems where AI can improve speed, quality, or insight, such as support automation, sales research, product workflows, forecasting, and internal operations. Each use case should have a responsible owner, appropriate data and governance controls, a measurable success metric, and a rapid test-and-learn path before broader rollout.
