• Track record closing complex deals with multiple stakeholders and security validation, including 6- and 7-figure TCV.

• Comfortable executing MEDDIC, SPICED, or similar methodology; crisp discovery and business case building.
• Executive presence with the ability to engage C-level and board-level influencers; excellent written and verbal communication.
• High ownership mindset: territory planning, partner alignment, and disciplined deal execution.
• Salesforce proficiency.
