Davide Piras

I think the extinction part was all Ray Gomez. Should never have been hired but Frank Marra wanted an outside perspective. Now Jerry Kuhlman is trying to figure out what Marketing Automation is and Priya Venkatraman is relying on Build Easy... yeah that's a great solution. Talk about head-nodders. Ugh.
At least we have Adam, Davide and Samina to figure it all out for us. We got this - haha! Ray and Rishi left at the perfect time!
 
























Totally agree with the concerns raised. The fact that WCE is so top-heavy without enough subject matter expertise is slowing us down, especially on these core commercialization capabilities. The lack of hands-on knowledge at the top is leading to poor decision-making and missed opportunities.

This is the result of years of nepotism, ego, and hubris that has led to a nest of rotten and useless employees who are hurting the organization. Subject matter expertise is seen as a negative and a threat. Hiring one's friends, allowing failures to stay and be promoted, putting people in positions where they are not capable of performing (procurement in content?), is a path to failure.
 






My team just discovered that Stacy Trent and her team were all let go 6 months ago. The saddest part is that it's almost September and nobody even noticed! Let's face it, Stacy is dumber than a box of whistles and couldn't find her way out of a wet paper bag. I was told that she literally drove her hapless team to extinction. Let's give Davide the credit for seeing through that and fixing the disaster she and her team left behind. #teamdavide
It will be interesting to see where she lands. I am sure sure she's alienated quite a few people in our world.
 












Why has WCE gone so quiet? They started off with big promises to transform everything and everyone, but now there’s no clear progress. It feels like all that energy and momentum disappeared. I was expecting to see real changes by now, but instead, it seems like nothing is actually moving forward.

You thought they would deliver? It was nothing but a combo of vaporware, ignorance of processes and platforms, and a complete lack of understanding of the tech that's available. Oh, let's not forget wishful thinking and hubris. Davide actually believed what KL and TJS were selling?

I genuinely believe he truly does.

Then Davide is truly an empty shell. TJ, Kelly, and the rest are idiots who were allowed to run rampant because they kissed Mckinsey ass. The fact that Davide trusted those fools speaks clearly to his emptiness. The question is is he willing to ruin his reputation? What am I thinking? His reputation was always trash.
 












Working with WCE - It’s like one half of a wood fence gets painted and someone new comes in to say maybe we really want a brick wall here instead.
Does anyone actually need a fence in the first place? And if so, what’s the real value—whether it’s wood, painted, or replaced with a brick wall? Are we building just for the sake of building, or is there real purpose, alignment, and incremental, measurable value versus the investments being made?

On a separate note, will anyone on this team actually get promoted, demoted, or even fired based on this year’s ‘performance’? Genuinely curious about the stakes here.
