Steve Travaglini announced as CRO of the Year at the inaugural GTM Awards

We’re thrilled to announce that Pavilion, the leading global community for revenue executives, CEOs, and founders in the B2B software space, in partnership with G2, announced that LinkSquares’ Steve Travaglini was named CRO of the Year at the inaugural GTM Awards. The GTM Awards is an esteemed industry-wide recognition program with the goal of celebrating top go-to-market leaders and companies that have demonstrated excellence, innovation, and success within the B2B SaaS sector. 

“We are so grateful for the opportunity to honor all of these incredible winners at last night's ceremony in Nashville," said Sam Jacobs, Founder and CEO of Pavilion. “These awards are a testament to our mission at Pavilion to connect GTM leaders through collaborative programming. We’re thrilled with this year's results, and can’t wait to see what next year brings.”

“It is an honor to be recognized among other world-class revenue organizations and brands for our go-to-market strategy and success,” said Steve Travaglini. He continued, “Together, we are being recognized for this award. For the past five years, the entire LinkSquares team has worked hard to get to this point. While I am grateful to have been the CRO during this time, I recognize that I am here because of the team's efforts on the front lines.

I’ve been an SDR, BDR, AE, Manager, Director, VP — you name it. When I was in those seats, I knew these types of awards were a reflection of what we were doing as a team. As a leader, I haven’t forgotten that.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible — it will be your turn soon enough. Don’t forget who is making it happen for you when it is your turn. We have a long way to go, and I look forward to working with our incredible team during our next stage of growth.”

Earlier this year, Steve received the Gold Stevie® Award for Senior Sales Executive of the Year, earning recognition from one of the world’s premier business awards. Steve was also named among Pavilion’s 40 CROs to Watch, The Software Report’s Top 25 Software Sales Executives of 2023, and ZoomInfo Awards’ Top Sales Professionals honorees for his leadership approach. LinkSquares’ revenue organization consistently receives local and global recognition for its leading culture and employee experience.
