    • Lead GTM Readiness and Execution: Oversee GTM plan readiness and execution, managing cross-functional alignment with teams such as Product, Pricing, Legal, SalesOps, BizOps, and Technical Support
    • Evaluate Commercial Team Readiness: Implement a training and readiness mechanism for the Commercial team, capturing NPS-like metrics to gauge their preparedness to demo products and differentiate IAS offerings
    • Provide Stakeholder Engagement: Regularly update senior leaders on launch progress, fostering transparency and alignment on outcomes
    • Implement Adoption Tracking and Reporting: Establish adoption models and reporting to monitor progress, support post-launch tracking, and drive ongoing adoption
    • Run Alpha and Beta Programs: Oversee Alpha and Beta testing to validate the product and refine it before full launch
