    • Performance & Accountability

    • Define and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics around connector adoption, usage, customer satisfaction, performance, and reliability.

    • Establish and maintain the team''s operating rhythm - prioritization cycles, reviews, and progress reporting - ensuring consistent execution across a broad product scope.

    • Customer & Market Engagement

    • Actively engage with enterprise customers, prospects, and partners to understand their integration use cases, needs, and expectations.

    • Represent enterprise connectivity capabilities and strategy in customer briefings, industry conferences, and analyst discussions.
