  • Product Launches - Own the calendar: Partner with Product Management to build and manage the launch calendar; own T-8 to T+30 execution.
  • Product Launches - Rally the team: Coordinate cross-functional launch readiness across product, sales, demand gen, comms, and customer success.
  • Product Launches - Measure impact: Define launch goals and success metrics. Don’t just ship—prove it landed.
  • Sales Enablement - Be the trusted partner: Show up in key deals with the right story, the right competitive angle, and the right proof.
