  1. Take ownership of an existing group of Account Executives and BDRs, then grow it.
  2. Set coaching rhythms, career paths, and clear expectations from day one.
  3. Build a culture where speed and customer obsession are the baseline, not the aspiration.
  4. Own pipeline, forecast accuracy, and quarterly targets for your segment.
  5. Find and pursue whitespace across startups, mid-market, and enterprise.
