“Businesses are in a crisis of disconnection today: Their systems and data are disconnected because of cobbled point solutions,” said Yamini Rangan, CEO of HubSpot, in a statement. “They’re disconnected from their customers as buyers tune out saturated channels and disconnected from their peers in a more hybrid world. We believe the businesses who will win in the future are the ones who focus on customer connection, not customer management. We’re committed to helping our customers grow in this new world by providing strategies, technology and communities that foster deeper connections.”
