Ecosystems, the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for collaborative customer value management, announces Brent Adamson in a first-of-its-kind role as Global Head of Research & Communities. Co-author of the international best-selling books The Challenger Sale and The Challenger Customer, Adamson is a preeminent thought leader on B2B selling and buying, whose continued research will advance the innovation of Ecosystems’ best-in-class software.

A core responsibility of Adamson's will be leading Ecosystems’ communities, composed of over 700 progressive leaders from marketing, sales, value management, and customer success. In this role, he will continue his success in fostering the learning, sharing, and cutting-edge research required to navigate the ever-changing landscape of enterprise commerce. For Ecosystems’ customers, practical insights are also packaged as in-app guidance to reinforce best practices and improve buyer-seller interactions.

“After spending the last two decades researching, community building, teaching, advising, speaking, and writing on the intersection of B2B selling and buying, I’m excited to join Ecosystems as an ideal home to continue that work. Its powerful software platform will facilitate and expand both the scope and execution of my work in all sorts of really exciting ways,” says Adamson. “More importantly, I’m coming to Ecosystems because our values and objectives are 1,000% aligned: To make the world a better place through a deeper understanding of human interaction and ultimately to help both companies and individuals make their value clearer.”

“Today marks a big day for Ecosystems, our community members, and our customers,” says Ecosystems’ Co-Founder and CEO, Chad Quinn. “As the creator of the only community dedicated to the full customer value lifecycle, we now combine on-demand cutting edge research, insight, and advice from a global thought leader with our best-in-class SaaS platform. We couldn’t be more excited to have Brent join the leadership team and build out the many new ways we can now provide a totally unique customer experience”

The Palo Alto Networks sellers will now have on-demand, guided digital coaching developed from Brent’s expertise and research embedded in the same platform they use to collaborate with their customers on value.”
