S1E127 - When compensation breaks with Jaap Westrik, Founder of Mordern Revenue

In this episode, Jeff sits down with Jaap Westrick, Founder of Modern Revenue, to explore the hidden disconnect between finance and go-to-market team, and why compensation plans are often blamed for problems they didn’t create.

Drawing on his background in finance and advisory work with 30+ companies, Jaap explains why CRO–CFO misalignment stems from fundamentally different training, incentives, and languages. They unpack why comp plans are usually a symptom of deeper strategic issues - from poor planning cycles and unclear definitions to flawed capacity models and disconnected data strategies.
