• Own business performance and operating rigor, including forecasting, pipeline health, inspection, and performance management, providing clear, actionable insights to executive leadership.
• Build and lead a high-performing organization, fostering a culture of accountability, customer obsession, and excellence while developing and retaining world-class talent.
• Lead through organizational and market transformation, translating evolving business strategy into clear priorities, strong alignment, and decisive execution across the organization.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to the Global CRO of AI Labs and the broader AI Labs Leadership Team, helping shape go-to-market priorities, investment decisions, organizational strategy, and critical initiatives that accelerate growth and scale the business.
