Positive talks to Jes Breslaw, Head of Marketing, EMEA and APJ, Couchbase

Heading up marketing for EMEA and APJ is no simple task – especially when the company is a leading NoSQL database which powers business-critical applications for B2B companies across the globe. 

Jes describes himself as a ‘sales-leaning marketing person’. His career has seen him work his way up in B2B Field Marketing roles, where he has always tried to keep close ties to the sales function of the business. Jes believes sales and marketing should be equal partners, without both sales and marketing being on the same page, he simply cannot do his job. 

Check out our full interview with Jes to find out how he approaches his work as a B2B tech marketing leader, as well as:

+ What is a sales-leaning marketing person?
