• Ensure compliance and interoperability with GSMA standards and local carrier specifications.
• Act as the regional voice of product, representing local customer needs and ecosystem opportunities.
• Evangelize RCS and CPaaS messaging capabilities across enterprises, partners, and carriers through workshops and customer engagements.

• Demonstrated success in launching or expanding products in diverse regional markets.
• Analytical thinker with the ability to interpret data and convert insights into action.
• Ability to influence across a matrixed global organisation and work effectively without direct authority.
