• Overachievement: Consistently meet or surpass new-logo ARR targets, leveraging uncapped accelerators and President's Club trips.

• Fluent in MEDDPICC, Command of the Message, and mutual success plans.
• Proven ability to engage CISO, CIO, CTO, and board stakeholders and translate technical risk into business impact.
