  • Design and execute upsell strategies and coordinate new product launches with cross-functional stakeholders.

  • Project manage complex, senior stakeholder scenarios including C-suite executives, founders, and shareholders.

  • Introduce automation and scalable processes to reduce manual work and increase repeatability.
