- Realigning GTM to enterprise without disrupting sales execution.
- Cross-selling security solutions to sustain ARR growth.
- Shifting sales to integrated bundles to increase ARPC.

Question #1
When the established growth playbook faltered, did Strosahl demonstrate the strategic creativity to architect a new path to profitable growth, or did he double down on the operational and sales levers he knows best?
Question #2
Given the choice between investing to re-accelerate top-line growth versus enforcing the strict cost discipline required for GAAP profitability, which would Strosahl instinctively prioritize?
Question #3
Recalling his time at eBay during its crisis and Jamf’s recent growth deceleration, is Strosahl a leader who can strategically navigate a turnaround, or is his expertise confined to executing an already-established growth plan in a favorable market?
