CMOs Under 30 - Rapid Career Rise Through Rule-Breaking

EXCLUSIVE: Alon Chen joined Google in 2006 at 23, with no marketing experience and no connections at the company. ✨️ By 28 years old, he was a CMO—overseeing marketing for Israel and Greece, building a $2 billion product line across 30 markets, pulling in a high six-figure salary and a seven-figure equity package. ✨️ By most people’s standards, he had made it absurdly early—and he says getting there was “easy,” too. Not because of mentors, politics, or any formal promotion track. 🎤 In an exclusive interview with me, Chen who is now CEO of Tastewise, says he just ignored every rule he was given. “Climbing up was fairly natural and easy,” he said, “simply because I just disregarded all the status quo and the rules and realized what’s the right thing to do, and went all the way with it.” Read my latest high-profile interview in Fortune today! ✉️ Every Friday, I sit down with the world's most compelling CEOs, founders and celebrities to unpack how they got there.
