Excellent communication skills (verbal and written)—ability to articulate complex concepts clearly to diverse audiences including C‑suite executives, finance teams, and operational stakeholders; strong RFP/RFI writing and proposal development skills. Proven ability to work effectively in matrixed team environments, gaining results without direct line authority while collaborating with Sales, Business Development, and Product Management teams.
