About Cissy Dong

I’m a strategy leader working at the intersection of AI, product strategy, sales tech, and GTM systems. My work focuses on translating frontier technology shifts into actionable implications for products, seller workflows, and operating models.Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked across TikTok, Meta, Google, and McKinsey, helping companies navigate growth, product transformation, and emerging technology. I’m particularly interested in AI-native sales tech — including AI agents, voice AI, AI-native workflow and platforms, and modern data architectures — and how they reshape seller productivity, customer systems, and enterprise software.At TikTok, I focus on strategy research and cross-functional initiatives for GenAI products in the Ads Sales organization. At Meta, I led product strategy and marketing for core features in flagship video products including Reels and Live. At Google, I managed strategy for a multi-billion-dollar global sales program targeting SMB advertisers and media agencies. At McKinsey, I advised clients on growth strategy, marketing and sales, and buyout diligence.I thrive in fast-moving, highly matrixed environments that require structured thinking, sharp prioritization, and cross-functional influence. I’m especially drawn to roles that combine frontier learning, system-level problem solving, and meaningful product or business impact.
