• Partner with the CEO and senior leadership team on company-wide initiatives where Trusted Advisor impact is central.

Service Integration & Packaged Solution Development

• Establish a product management discipline within Partner Experience, defining packaging, positioning, and delivery models for service tiers.

• Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Finance to develop pricing strategies for service packages, balancing value creation for Trusted Advisors with margin objectives.
