  • Free Forever, No BS: Inside Bitwarden’s Growth Playbook with Gary Orenstein

    Free Forever, No BS: Inside Bitwarden’s Growth Playbook with Gary Orenstein
    Jun 18 2025
    Episode Summary: Most cybersecurity vendors lead with fear, gate their best features, and hide behind complexity. Bitwarden did the opposite and still won. In this episode, Gianna and Maria sit down with Gary Orenstein, the Chief Customer Officer at Bitwarden, to break down how an open-source password manager with a “free forever” product became a trusted global brand across consumers and enterprises. No gimmicks. No fear-mongering. Just a strategy built on transparency, trust, and a product that actually works. You’ll hear: Why giving your product away can actually drive enterprise growth How open source builds instant credibility and shortens sales cycles The surprising emotional side of password security What marketers should stop doing and what to try instead How Bitwarden quietly created one of the most effective PLG motions in the industry If you’re tired of the usual cybersecurity playbook, this episode is a refreshing—and useful—detour. And yes, Gary’s dream job involves tiny foxes and national parks. Stick around for that. 🔗 Links & Resources: Bitwarden Channel Islands National Park Central Park’s surprisingly excellent Instagram About Gary: Gary Orenstein is the Chief Customer Officer at Bitwarden, leading go-to-market across customer success, marketing, and sales.

    Inside Tom Wentworth’s AI Stack: How to Automate the Stuff Marketers Hate
    Jun 11 2025
    Episode Summary: Tom Wentworth, CMO at Incident.io, got tired of doing the same stuff over and over, so he built AI agents to do it for him. Sales call summaries? Automated. Blog posts from discovery calls? Done in minutes. Battle cards? They update themselves.

There are no big declarations, just real systems that save time and don’t annoy people. We talk about what’s working, what’s breaking, and how far you can push things without sounding like a robot. Also: cold plunges, prompt rage, and the Notion doc that’s 90 pages long. 🎧 Press play to hear how Tom stretches modern marketing ops with the right automation setup. Links & Resources Mentioned: Incident.io Gong Zapier ChatGPT Notion Slack Common Room Sanity CMS 11Labs (Voice AI) About Tom: Tom is a high-growth SaaS marketing leader with experience across enterprise GTM and product-led models.

  • From Hype to Human: Live from RSAC Conference with Alexandra Charikova

    From Hype to Human: Live from RSAC Conference with Alexandra Charikova
    Jun 4 2025
    Episode Summary: We’re back with a special episode recorded at RSAC 2025. The booths are packed up, and the leftover swag is gathering dust, but the real conversations are just getting started. Gianna and Maria sat down with Alexandra Charikova, Head of Marketing at Escape and host of The Elephant in AppSec, to talk more about what marketing feels like right now with shifting teams, budget curveballs, and more noise than ever. We got into the messy middle: navigating layoffs, budget cuts, and leadership turnover, all while still trying to show up, stand out, and connect with buyers. Alexandra shares why she’s officially anti-swag (and what’s in her expo survival kit instead), and we talk through what still works in 2025: human stories, smart content, and follow-up that doesn’t feel like a chore. Also on the table are burnout, booth chaos, and how to make it through a conference without losing your mind. If you’ve ever been asked to “do more with less” or pitch a rebrand while the leadership team is changing around you… This one’s for you Links & Resources Mentioned: Cybersecurity Marketing Society - Home of this podcast, and the community where cybersecurity marketers share ideas, swap stories, and figure things out together. Escape - Alexandra’s day job. They help folks secure modern apps, and they’re hiring smart marketers too (probably). The Elephant in AppSec - Alexandra’s podcast. Honest convos, strong opinions, and the kind of AppSec talk you want to hear. CyberMarketingCon - The Society’s yearly in-person event, where the vibes are strong, the talks are real, and the hallway convos might just change your career. About Alexandra: Alexandra isn’t just curious, she’s driven by it. That curiosity has taken her across disciplines, from marketing and sales ops to engineering, data, and project management. What ties it all together? A love of solving complex problems, especially alongside smart, collaborative people. Outside of her day-to-day work, Alexandra is all in on making application security more accessible and honest. She’s the host of The Elephant in AppSec, a podcast that asks tough questions and challenges how the industry talks about security. She thrives on connection and is always up for a thoughtful chat or fresh perspective, so don’t be shy about reaching out. Follow her on LinkedIn. Subscribe & Review: Enjoyed this episode?
