• A disciplined and highly self‑motivated approach to prospecting, pipeline generation, and deal progression.
• Experience managing multi‑stakeholder sales cycles, including procurement, legal, and technical review.
• Comfort operating autonomously in an early‑stage market environment—resourceful, structured, and commercially creative.
