• Experience turning strategic relationships into large, multi-year programs — and growing them
• You’ve been the person an executive team trusts with their biggest technology-driven bets
• Experience in standing up and delivering strategic agendas ($100M+ value impact) with cross-functional executive team - shaping roadmaps, driving scoping and discovery, establishing ROI and value case for funding approvals
• Fluency in both technology and business strategy: you can hold a conversation on architecture and on the P&L, and translate between the two
• Command of complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise dynamics — procurement, security, legal, and competing internal agendas — without ever reading as a salesperson
• A track record as a trusted advisor to senior executives — CIOs, COOs, and their peers — at large enterprises. The person leaders call before they’ve decided what to do
• The judgment to tell a customer a hard truth, including when not to buy. Serve, don’t sell
