Executive presence and strong consultative storytelling — ability to engage C-suite and VP-level stakeholders with confidence.
Comfortable working in a matrixed, cross-functional environment with delivery teams, industry market units, and sales leadership.
Travel-ready with availability to cover key client markets: Atlanta, Jersey City / New York City, and Charlotte.
