AJ Gandhi: Why Go-To-Market Is the Most Underweighted Lever in Private Equity

AJ Gandhi, who has helped shape go-to-market strategy and revenue growth across more than 100 companies through leadership roles at Bain, Alexander Group, Salesforce, RingCentral, and Marlin Equity Partners, offers a sharp perspective on why many private equity firms still struggle to pursue go-to-market value creation with real conviction.

The challenge is that go-to-market is inherently multidisciplinary. It sits at the intersection of strategy, pricing, marketing, sales, customer success, services, and the operational systems that connect them all. Few leaders have deep expertise across every function, and even fewer know how to orchestrate them as a cohesive growth engine.
