Bio
Georgiana Laudi is the architect of Customer-Led Growth (CLG) as a strategic framework, and her most distinctive contribution is the Customer Experience Map -- a methodology that reframes the entire customer journey around success milestones rather than business-centric funnel stages. Her intellectual provenance comes from in-house marketing leadership at Unbounce, where she recognized that traditional funnel-based marketing (awareness, consideration, decision) optimizes for the company's transaction moments rather than the customer's success moments. This insight, combined with the Airbnb experience mapping approach that inspired her early work, led to a fundamentally different way of structuring GTM strategy.
