• Serve as a thought leader internally and externally, shaping customer strategy and contributing to industry dialogue through executive engagement, events, and strategic discussions
• Partner with Portfolio Unit and R&D teams to ensure field insights inform product direction and readiness
• Collaborate with marketing to create and deliver thought leadership content, campaigns, and demand generation programs that build pipeline and awareness
• Lead and develop a high-performing team of Account Technology Managers (ATMs), coaching on new market development and consultative selling
• Define and manage territories, contributing to multi-year SVP growth strategy and execution
• Establish best practices for selling in an emerging solution space, including messaging, qualification, and deal strategy
