• Target deals in the $1M–$5M range, emphasizing fast ROI from offered solutions.
• Develop and manage a robust sales pipeline with the goal of reaching $25–30M in annual sales within 1-2 years, scaling to $60M+ thereafter.
• Work closely with product, engineering, marketing, and realization teams to ensure alignment on solution offering and delivery capabilities.
• Provide market intelligence and customer feedback to shape offering development and commercial strategy.
• Report KPIs and forecast sales progress to senior management with clarity and accountability.
