Strong program management and prioritization skills, with the ability to scope complex work, break it into clear plans, and execute effectively
Partnered with sales leaders, front-line managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to drive behavior change and improve field execution
Experience supporting complex B2B sales motions and adapting global programs for regional markets - especially Japan
