  • Orchestrate Executive & Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the authoritative voice for FlashBlade hardware strategy across executive advisory boards, steering committee reviews, and strategic customer engagements.
  • Optimize Portfolio Economics & Scalability: Analyze market dynamics, supply chain constraints, and platform margin signals to make critical performance, cost, and reliability trade-offs.
