Customer-obsessed GTM (revenue + success) leader with over 25 years of experience in establishing and scaling high-impact teams at market-leading SaaS companies, including GitHub ($2B+ ARR), Twilio Segment ($300M+ ARR), DocuSign ($1B+ ARR), Slack ($100M - $1B+ ARR), and Salesforce.

SUMMARY
Bhusha Mehta inherited GitHub's post-sales organization in the middle of the AI coding boom, with no time to pause and redesign while serving 225 million developers. Framing the work as a showrunner's job (with help from Mindy Kaling), she walks through four acts: setting the premise, getting the casting right, fixing production, and knowing the audience. She is honest about the human cost and specific about what changed. It's a session for any leader building while the market keeps moving.
