About this episode

Today, I welcome Steve Stathis Tzikakis, the dynamic CEO of Sitecore, a visionary in digital transformation with a legacy that spans continents and industries. Steve, a stalwart of the tech industry since the '90s, boasts a glittering track record, from his 13-year tenure at SAP - where he helmed its monumental growth across the EMEA South region, to his present role at Sitecore, where he is revolutionizing the way brands perceive and deliver digital experiences.

In this enlightening episode, we reminisce about their last meeting at the Sitecore Symposium 2022 in Chicago. We delve into how brands have had to shift gears over the past six months, emphasizing the increasing importance of agility, scaling content, and delivering impeccable digital experiences at the speed of light. 

The conversation takes a financial turn as we also discuss the remarkable $1.2 billion investment in Sitecore in 2021. Against economic unpredictability, this investment has been a beacon, propelling consistent global growth.

Steve elaborates on the benefits of a composable strategy, not just for marketers but for end users too. London, with its bustling Martech scene, gets a special mention. As a resident and the CEO of Sitecore, Steve shares his unique insights on what makes the UK capital a hotbed for tech innovation.

Technological landscapes are shifting; brands are on a rollercoaster, navigating from the urgency to deliver rapid digital experiences to grappling with pioneering tech like generative AI. Steve shared with me where Sitecore fits into this whirlwind of change.

Settle in for a captivating discussion on technology, transformation, and the trajectory of brands in an ever-evolving digital universe.
