What does it look like when Solutions leadership sits at the center of a $12B GTM strategy? Jeff Margolese, SVP of Global Solution Consulting at ServiceNow, has lived it.
In this episode, James Kaikis sits down with Jeff to unpack how ServiceNow rebuilt its Solutions motion from the ground up. They scrapped discovery-heavy demos in favor of live Proof of Value engagements, stood up AI-first build teams, and earned a seat at the table with the CRO. Jeff shares what that transformation actually required, and what Solutions leaders at every level can take from it.
In this episode:
→ Why ServiceNow moved from POCs to production-ready proof of value
→ How "AI Experience SEs" and build teams are reshaping the field org
→ The enterprise deal story that turned a skeptic into a believer
→ What it means when the CRO names you in his 2026 goals
