What You'll Do

  • Go-to-market: Actively drive commercialization of key offerings in close collaboration with our Functional and adjacent Industry Practices. Create go-to-market materials, ensuring Managing Directors and Partners (MDPs) have full access to relevant commercial materials.

  • Competitive intelligence: Gather and analyze information on differentiating IP, business models and offerings of key competitors. Develop recommendations on commercial approach and IP development and design implementation plan.
