That statement is true.

Explanation:

In matrix structure, employees have to report to more than one team leaders or supervisors because their duties often intertwined with one another.

This situation can be seen in Raj's situation.

As sales person, Raj's job will most likely intertwined to the marketing team. The marketing team will decide the overall strategies. For example, they will determine things that the Sales team can say in order to attract a certain market demographic. After that, Raj has to report to the sales and held accountable when he's not meeting the target.
