• Own quarterly and annual SDR-sourced pipeline ARR targets , with clear accountability for conversion quality and deal-size mix.
• Lead and evolve a global SDR organization with a focus on productivity per rep, qualification rigor, and sustainable throughput .

• Continuously evolve the SDR playbook, including messaging, sequencing, tooling, and AI-assisted workflows, to drive measurable gains in productivity.
