- Offering, Commercialization and GTM: Own the SKU structure, pricing, and commercial terms for partner products, along with the global GTM framework to drive partner-influenced learners and training revenue.
- Partnership Enablement Standardization: Lead end-to-end enablement programs for global partners—including curriculum, certification, and readiness—ensuring flawless execution, adherence to rules of engagement, and consistent high-quality engagements.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Drive internal cross-functional execution across Curriculum and Delivery (offerings development), Legal (contracting), Commercialization (SKU design and investment strategy), Training Operations (revenue recognition and system-of-record tracking) and GTM Enablement.
