My App Stack: Carin van Vuuren, CMO of Greenhouse

“My App Stack” is a new series where we dig in with top CMOs, CROs, CTOs and CEOs on just what apps they’re really using to run their business.  I always learn a lot from these — they are in essence a best practices list from each leader.  This week we have Carin van Vuuren up, CMO of Greenhouse.

#1.  What’s your core stack of apps today?

• Marketing automation – Marketo
• ABM and intent – 6Sense
• A/B and CRO – Intellimize
• Conversational marketing – Drift
• Webinars – BigMarker

#2.  What’s the number one top new app you’ve added the past year?

Klue — for competitive intelligence

#3.  Other than your own, what app would you never let anyone take away from you no matter what: 

We cannot do what we do without Marketo! 

It’s the foundation of everything we do, from lead scoring, funnel analytics, and email marketing, to campaign operations, sales alerts and insights

#4.  What’s your top “undiscovered gem” — an app you love but others may not have heard of?

For us it’s UserGems – it’s a SFDC app that alerts you when previous users start jobs at new companies so you can reach out to make a sale to them in their new role.
