As a cloud strategy consultant, you will combine your understanding of our client's businesses and our thought leadership in the industry to create cloud strategies that will enable future-ready enterprises. You will deliver business-focused cloud strategies that will enable the adoption, acceleration, and innovation on the cloud for our clients.
