Go-to-Market Execution

• Lead cross-functional teams in planning and executing product launches.
• Develop and implement GTM strategies and campaigns targeting key verticals and personas, with tailored messaging for insurers, hedge funds asset managers, and asset owners.

• Create product collateral, presentations, objection-handling guides, and enablement materials.
