What happens when you hand the keys to AI to every marketer on your team? In this episode, Rick sits down with Carlos Roman, Global Head of Partner Marketing at Databricks, to talk about the evolution of partner marketing, why scale is always the holy grail, and how AI is reshaping go-to-market.
Carlos shares how Databricks is running AI hackathons to unlock new ideas, why partner enablement has to extend beyond corporate walls, and how AI is moving us from duct-tape DIY to repeatable scale.
