• Deep industry network and credibility with senior decision-makers
• Experience scaling sales organizations and driving step-change growth
• Proven exposure to large deal closures and national-level sales leadership
• Structured sales leader with hands-on experience in pipeline management and governance
• Growth-oriented, optimistic leader who can drive change while respecting strong cultural values

Why This Role is Different

• Fully digitalized customer lifecycle-from design to operations and assurance
• Strong focus on digital assurance as a core differentiator
• Seeks leaders with a digital-first mindset, not just tool familiarity
