Dr. Debbie Qaqish Releases “From Backroom to Boardroom” with ForbesBooks

In her book, From Backroom to Boardroom, Dr. Debbie Qaqish attempts to remove the stigmas keeping B2B marketing in the margins. Key to her message is the shift from the traditional mindset to what she calls "strategic marketing operations," which empowers chief marketing officers to lead digital transformation, create a customer-centric approach, and, ultimately, drive revenue. Her research on this subject led not only to proven results, but created an actionable blueprint for CMOs everywhere. Readers of From Backroom to Boardroom are given a clearly defined mindset, skillset, and toolset for building their own strategic marketing operation.

"Dr. Debbie Qaqish has written the manual for marketing operations (MO) leaders and marketing executives to lead the charge in driving successful change with technology, data, process, and high-performing teams," David Alexander[CB1] , Vice President of Marketing, F5, said in praise of the book. "In a world where marketers are increasingly accountable for driving revenue and better enterprise-wide decision-making, she clearly lays out where to focus your energy and the pitfalls to avoid."

Through an examination of the real-world trials and success stories that shaped her philosophy, Dr. Qaqish provides a roadmap for CMOs hoping to earn a spot at the table and keep it. From Backroom to Boardroom intersperses these stories through Dr. Qaqish's interviews with marketers who embraced her practical, approachable methods.
