• Commercial & Cross-Functional Alignment
  • Partner closely with Executive Leadership, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Operations to ensure product roadmaps align with go-to-market strategies and overall business targets.
  • Serve as an internal and external evangelist for Gordian’s Procurement and Planning offerings, regularly engaging with major clients, cooperative purchasing partners (e.g., Sourcewell, GPOs), and key industry forums.
  • Support M&A evaluation and integration strategy for inorganic growth opportunities within the facility management and ConTech/PropTech space.
