This document presents WKT's organizational model — designed to resolve structural tensions between marketing, sales, and customer success while creating unified pipeline visibility and enabling systematic AI adoption across the revenue lifecycle.
| Current Tension | Root Cause | How This Fixes It |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing vs. Sales conflict | Marketing reports into Sales — competing incentives | Demand and Revenue are peer functions — neither controls the other |
| No pipeline visibility across the funnel | No data or CRM discipline — functions track separately | RevOps Enablement owns the unified pipeline view, lifecycle data, and market intelligence |
| Channel conflict — direct vs. reseller vs. institutional | No single owner of all three sales motions | Revenue owns all three — one leader makes the channel calls |
| Marketing automation and lifecycle tracking missing | No owner for the technology and data layer | RevOps Enablement owns CRM, automation, forecasting, and market intelligence |
| Corporate communications had no clear home | Sat loosely in marketing without executive ownership | Corporate communications moves to Chief of Staff — aligned with board and executive voice |
| SKU portfolio decisions cause cross-functional conflict | No single owner — everyone has a stake | President owns Keep/Add/Kill with structured input from all functions |
| President absorbs all cross-functional conflict | No clear function ownership — everything escalates | Six function owners make decisions within their domain — President chairs, doesn't carry |
