• Ignite the marketing engine by focusing on both sales engagement and digital execution, with measurable goals for each.
• Build e-commerce strategy into every customer call, partnering with Digital and Sales leaders on conversion, adoption, and customer experience.
• Measure campaign and program impact on pipeline, conversion, and revenue, and adjust plans based on results.

5. Change leadership and operational improvement
