You are comfortable navigating complex enterprise sales cycles, challenging conventional thinking, and building trusted relationships with customers, partners, and internal stakeholders.

- Executive Engagement: Personally engage in key executive-level customer meetings (C-suite, VP of Infrastructure/Data Strategy) to sponsor, position value outside traditional infrastructure teams, and close complex $750K+ ACV enterprise deals.
