  • Navigate complex customer organizations spanning engineering, procurement, operations, and executive leadership to build alignment and drive successful outcomes.
  • Develop and maintain long-term client relationships that generate repeat business throughout the lifecycle of installed equipment.
  • Lead the introduction and positioning of new equipment segments within the region.
  • Contribute to the development of evolving commercial models as regional growth strategies mature.
  • Translate technical capabilities and operational value into compelling commercial solutions for customers.
  • Partner closely with engineering, product, and operations teams, bringing market intelligence and customer feedback into strategic decision-making.
  • Build and maintain a strong pipeline of opportunities while driving strategic account growth.
