Deep experience selling into and influencing executive stakeholders (CHRO, Head of Benefits, CFO), with the ability to build business cases and drive alignment across complex buying committees
Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with experience partnering across teams (e.g., product, marketing, partnerships) to remove blockers and drive outcomes in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.
Exceptional communication and executive presence, with the ability to distill complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives for both external partners and internal senior leadership.
