About this episode
Raja Rajamannar, Mastercard's Chief Marketing and Communications Officer and President of the Healthcare Division, returns to CMO Moves to take us deep into the marketing business case for humanity. This topic is top of mind for all marketers today as they juggle the short-term financial pressures and long-term reputation impact from their efforts at this very moment. Raja offers up a number of great tips for all marketers in how to not be tone-deaf with consumers or their CEO and CFO, and how to enroll help from their community for credibility. Further, Raja shares more on how two and half years ago he established a Risk Management function, now led by that same CFO who co-built the marketing finance team with Raja mentioned in his first episode of CMO Moves. Find out more about how this function was designed, what it monitors, and how it prepared Mastercard to handle the current pandemic across the 210 countries it operates in today.
