C-Suite Strategies
C-Suite Strategies is the podcast for revenue-minded leaders who know that sales and marketing aren't separate functions. They're one engine.
No fluff. No theory. Just straight talk from people who've sat in the seat.
Hosted by Stacie Sussman, Founder and CRO of RevUp Advisory and named a 2026 Women to Watch by both Thrive Global and Her Agenda — with 17 years leading sales teams in Manhattan, 100+ consulting projects, and a track record of scaling companies to exit — each episode digs into what growth actually looks like for mid-market operators, founders, CMOs, and CROs. Because growth isn't just about data and metrics — it's about mindset, showing up, and surrounding yourself with the right people.
This is a space for the conversations that go beyond the dashboard. The ones about alignment, accountability, and what it really takes to build a revenue engine that lasts.
If you're ready to stop treating sales and marketing as separate problems and start leading like they're one — this is your podcast.
If you want to learn how to turn the chaos of growth into clarity and confidence, subscribe to C-Suite Strategies. Your next breakthrough is just a listen away.

Everyone knows about the flashy success stories of startups—but what about the startup failures? These are incredibly impactful and pretty traumatic events for founders where lots of important lessons are learned. I’m so grateful to be able to have this jam packed conversation with Hector Forwood about his startup failure. He’s amazingly forthcoming about where things went wrong, what he’d do differently, and even what he shares now with his coaching clients!
