The Cyber Sales SVP Rethinking How to Build an AI-Forward Cyber GTM

Kristen Twining, SVP Sales at Reco, says an AI-forward go-to-market can't be a sales project. In this cybersecurity sales conversation she explains how Reco is rebuilding its cyber GTM around AI and agents, and why marketing, RevOps and a brand-new role have to be part of it.

Reco secures AI and agents for a living, so Kristen is stress-testing an agentic motion on her own team first. She talks through cleaning up the CRM across teams, taking away the traditional cybersecurity sales tools her reps knew, and scoring accounts for signal, which cut Reco's outbound target list by about 80%. She also gets into the go-to-market engineer role, how she hires for B2B cybersecurity sales now, and why she thinks the companies that figure this out fast and first will win the market.

In this episode:

- Why agentic GTM is "a company agentic motion," not a sales one
- Why cleaning up the CRM from the sales side alone doesn't work
- What she told reps when she pulled the traditional tech stack
- How scoring for signal cut the outbound target list by about 80%
- What a go-to-market engineer does, and why the job description took five or six drafts
- Her favorite interview question for BDRs and AEs about AI
