• Joint Business Planning: Develop and execute annual business plans with Tier-1 partners, including co-marketing activities and regional events.
• Ecosystem Alignment: Act as the bridge between our partners and internal teams to ensure local market requirements in EMEA are reflected in our product roadmap.
