In this episode of the RevOpsAF podcast, co-host Camela sits down with Sonia Chawla, SVP of Revenue Strategy and Operations at Climate Impact Partners and a seasoned RevOps executive and systems thinker, to discuss why jumping into AI without a strong data foundation is a recipe for failure.

With over 15 years of experience scaling revenue operations at companies from $4M to $2B, Sonia brings pragmatic, no-BS advice on building clean systems that actually drive growth.

→ How to define and enrich your ICP without expensive tools
→ The right order of operations for data, process, and AI
→ Ways to use call recording and CRM hygiene to improve sales execution
→ How to get stakeholder buy-in for “unsexy” but critical data work
