Partner closely with Sales to align every program against territory plans, account priorities, and active deal stages. Design and execute programs that move deals forward by surfacing real qualification evidence from customer conversations. Establish performance metrics that demonstrate contribution to pipeline and revenue — not just event counts or attendance.

Ensure programs across geographies operate as a unified, Sales-aligned go-to-market motion. Executive Engagement Build and run CIO engagement programs that establish Workato as a strategic partner for enterprise AI governance — before deals exist. Operate and evolve the San Francisco Executive Briefing Center (EBC) program, ensuring world-class experiences for strategic customers, prospects, and partners.

Run executive dinners, roundtables, customer advisory sessions, and private workshops with senior technology leaders. Partner with Workato executives to create meaningful engagement opportunities with CIOs and heads of enterprise architecture.
