Develop and nurture multi-threaded relationships across the C-suite, VP of Engineering, and IT Operations to align business strategy with Mission Cloud's delivery capabilities.

Drive tight co-selling and ongoing field engagement with AWS account teams, solutions architects, and internal delivery practices to deliver seamless, end-to-end service execution.

Uncover expansion, cross-sell, and recurring managed service opportunities organically through active customer immersion, project milestone successes, and ongoing advisory.
