  • Industry Solution Enablement : Influence solution creation to educate and enable sales, presales, and customer success teams.
  • Account Collaboration : Engage partners on targeted accounts and regional engagement strategies aligned with overall strategies.
  • Voice of Salesforce to the Industry : Present and lead executive roundtables and industry event presentations.
