A renowned Czech-French writer Milan Kundera once said, “Business has only two functions – marketing and innovation.” And, the celebrated Austrian-born American management consultant, educator, and author Peter Drucker said, “The aim of marketing is to understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.”
Innovation is the backbone of any business; rather it forms the foundation of a successful company. In any enterprise, everything begins with an idea, then starts manufacturing but what takes the company ahead and in people’s notice is an effective marketing and advertisement strategy. The successful entity/personality who is redefining marketing with innovative strategies and tactics is Pat Geary, Chief Marketing Officer at Blue Prism.

Another major factor which makes Pat an exceptional name in the world history is that he is the man who invented the term Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in the year 2012 and it has eventually become the global IT software category of which Blue Prism is now the market leader.

While most marketing officers work on the strategy end developing the company and marketing architecture and execute plans to improve communications through events at the brand level, Pat believes a good CMO is the one who understands them all and links them together as that is what makes one an expert in all the fields and not just one, that is what build teams which can deliver exceptional outcomes. He defines the position of the CMO as the person who maintains coordination and leadership.
