Build repeatable sales strategies and plays that regional account teams can run.
Partner with account managers, regional specialists, and solution engineers to open and win new business.
Develop partnerships with systems integrators, channel partners, and NEMs to extend reach.
Success is measured by contribution to the division's growth target, with new-logo wins as the key sub-target.
