GTM 31 | Predictable Revenue Systems: AI, Alignment & Scale with Michele Shepard (CRO, Emburse)

Описание: In this episode of GTM Vault, host Rick Koleta sits down with Michele Shepard — Chief Revenue Officer at Emburse, one of enterprise software’s most accomplished revenue leaders.

Michele has led organizations through private-equity transformations and multi-billion-dollar exits across Vertafore, Insurity, and Paya. At Emburse, she’s redefining enterprise finance with AI-powered Expense Intelligence — where finance, travel, and accounts payable shift from reactive workflows to predictive orchestration.

Emburse isn’t just automating workflows — it’s building the intelligence layer beneath them, turning data into direction and motion into measurable results.
