Pricing & Innovation at hyperexponential
The hyperexponential Pricing and Innovation team are focused on helping our customers achieve excellence in pricing through their use of hx Renew. We look at pricing model deployment holistically, understanding what best in class looks like and finding ways to enable it across our customer base.
