  • Leads or supports executive-level customer discussions, workshops, and roadmap conversations related to data governance and information protection.
  • Raises governance fluency across Solution and Field Architects, ensuring they can confidently sell-not just deliver-governance solutions.
  • Provides architectural oversight and escalation in support of deal success and customer confidence.
  • Ensures consistency across sales, delivery, and managed services teams while keeping customer-facing messaging simple, practical, and commercial.
