A demonstrable track record of landing new logos through self‑generated demand, not partner‑led or inbound pipeline. You can walk us through how you got into organizations where you had no prior relationship. Experience running complex, multi‑stakeholder deals with C‑ and VP‑level technical buyers. The ability to easily and regularly commute into NYC. Bonus points for: existing relationships with sports leagues, sports teams, or major media and broadcast organizations in the region; fluency in how broadcast and production environments actually work; presence in industry organizations such as SVG, SMPTE, or NAB.
