Expert at applying AI value selling at board and C-suite level — shaping how senior leaders frame long-term AI investment strategy, translating SAP's roadmap into financial value narratives, and securing platform-level commitment beyond individual deal cycles
Proven use of strategic AI synthesis at scale — building AI-enabled territory intelligence systems, deploying predictive pipeline models, and establishing AI-driven account planning methodologies adopted across the wider sales community
Expert in building and institutionalising data-driven selling practices — developing commercial frameworks and ROI methodologies that generate reusable deal-acceleration assets and establish a repeatable, scalable domain standard
