• Orchestrate internal domain experts (Solutions Engineers, Industry Specialists, Professional Services, Partner Managers) to lead complex, large-scale transactions while maintaining primary account oversight.

• Consistently build pipeline, manage accurate business forecasts, and communicate competitive intelligence and strategic account updates
