• Strong project management skills, ability to inspire cross-functional teams (from executive to individual contributor levels), spearhead complex plans, and present with ease to wide-ranging audiences, including internal stakeholder meetings, customer webinars, trainings, and industry events

• Proven self-starter with a bias for action and can-do attitude to get things done and deliver positive business impact

• Highly effective listening and critical thinking skills with deep customer empathy

• Ability to thrive in fast-paced work environments, juggle multiple initiatives successfully, and show adeptness at leveraging data to inform recommendations
