• Track record of shipping 0-to-1 products with engineering teams and taking them to production scale with enterprise customers.
• Comfort operating in regulated environments; experience partnering with legal and compliance on licensing, asset segregation, and risk frameworks.
• Data-driven prioritization: you define success metrics up front and hold the team accountable to adoption and revenue outcomes.
