- Proven ability to translate complex product topics into narratives that resonate with both technical and mainstream audiences.
- Experience building and leading high-performing communications teams in a matrixed, global organization.
- Exceptional storyteller with the instinct to conceptualize and identify what’s newsworthy in a product roadmap and build what’s needed to get there.
