  • Oversee internal enablement programs such as lunch & learns, knowledge documentation, and capability-specific training.
  • Market Growth, GTM Strategy & Salesforce Partnership
  • Design and execute GTM strategies for the Data Cloud and Marketing Cloud capability areas in collaboration with Sales and Delivery.

  • Develop targeted offerings including industry accelerators, cross-cloud solutions, and reusable IP.
  • Lead GTM working sessions and pipeline reviews, proactively identifying growth gaps and co-creating plays to drive new bookings.
  • Build and nurture strategic relationships with Salesforce PAMs, AEs, product leaders, and alliances stakeholders.
  • Represent Thunder at Salesforce events such as Dreamforce, World Tours, QBRs, and enablement forums.
  • Track and report progress on certifications, Navigator ranking, CSATs, and ACV goals.
