• Explain and demonstrate the technical and business benefits of proposed solutions to customers, including aspects such as resilience, scalability, energy efficiency, sustainability, and speed‑to‑market.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders (Sales, Solution Architects, Business Units, Application Centers) to ensure solution coherence and consistency during the tendering phase.
• Support customer meetings, workshops, and presentations as a solution and portfolio expert.
• Maintain awareness of technology trends and data center market developments to continuously enhance solution positioning.
• Promote collaboration and effective communication among all stakeholders involved in an opportunity.
