#815: CIBC's Stephanie Leheta on moving from silos to enterprise scale CX
Episode 815
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
What happens when you tie a quarter of every employee’s variable compensation not to sales targets, but to customer experience metrics? Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a shared purpose that translates into a unified system for listening, learning, and acting at an enterprise scale. It's about connecting every function of the business to the client's reality in real-time. Today, we are here at Medallia Experience at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas, and we're going to talk about what it takes to transform a massive organization by moving client experience from a siloed function to the core of the enterprise operating model, tying it directly to employee compensation and billions in revenue growth. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Stephanie Leheta, Sr. Director, Client Experience Strategy at CIBC.
