• Executive Stakeholder Alignment: Build trust and long-term relationships across CxOs, security leaders, procurement, and technical teams to cultivate internal champions.

• Team & Ecosystem Orchestration: Direct deal strategy while collaborating with Solution Sales Specialists, channel partners, GSIs, and hyperscalers to expand account reach.

• AI Tools & Market Expertise: Utilize AI tools like Gong and Demandbase to increase sales velocity while staying ahead of cybersecurity market trends and competitor moves.
