You’ll be studying new and emerging trends in B2B to fuel your thinking about where we head next and how we’ll transform Verizon's VBG market. You’ll explore the current state, and identify gaps and the next big opportunity. And craft a long-term vision and adjust along the way as you respond to the rapidly changing landscape.
