Teradata — Rolling Out a Global GTM Model

Industry: Enterprise Software | Revenue: $800M

Industry Context

Global GTM transformations are notoriously difficult. Centralized rollouts often create bottlenecks that undermine execution, frustrate sellers, and erode investor trust. 

The Challenge

  • Centralized GTM office created friction across theaters.
  • Operational functions misaligned with local leadership.
  • Deadlines slipped, execution became inconsistent. 


The Aha! Insight

The problem wasn’t strategy. It was governance. Teradata needed a way to orchestrate GTM change while still allowing execution to thrive.
