• Drive product adoption and expansion among customer organizations through deep technical understanding and proactive relationship management.
• Provide actionable insights on technology usage, maturity, and best practices to help customers achieve operational efficiency.
• Collect and advocate customer feedback to influence future product development and service enhancements at Nutanix.
• Lead the technical onboarding process for new customers ensuring alignment with customer’s desired outcomes.
