The roast
Kieran lists his job as SVP of Agentic GTM, which is a very complicated way of saying he’s a professional middle-manager waiting for a chatbot to figure out how to write his LinkedIn posts for him.

Everyone wants to elevate their brand campaigns and positioning (because all products are starting to sound the same). The person who can do this is in high demand. The problem is there’s a real gap between the top tier in this role and everyone else. Very hard to hire. 2. AI (LLM)
