In this episode of The CX and Culture Connection, host Matt Egol, CCXP, welcomes longtime collaborator and fellow innovator Sujay Saha, Founder and President of Cortico-X. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to build experiences that stick—focusing not just on rapid execution, but on long-term, human-centered transformation. From their shared history at PwC to co-developing the ”Return on Experience” framework, this episode is both a reunion and a forward-looking blueprint for modern CX leaders.

Sujay shares his journey from consulting to entrepreneurship, and how Cortico-X is leading the charge in productizing services that drive meaningful, measurable change. Topics include experience activism, dynamic roadmapping, AI-powered customer insights, and how to bridge the gap between strategy and behavioral adoption across an organization. Matt and Sujay explore how culture, data, and design can be tightly interwoven to turn CX into an organization-wide discipline—not just a department.

If you're a CX leader looking to elevate impact, accelerate innovation, and embed human-centered thinking into your organization’s DNA, this is a must-listen.
