• Represent the organization in executive briefings, client meetings, industry forums, and conferences.
• Stay ahead of market trends, competitor offerings, and emerging technologies in Infrastructure and Cybersecurity.
• Provide accurate pipeline visibility, sales forecasts, and performance insights to leadership.
• Mentor and guide sales team members, as needed, to strengthen overall new-business capability.
