The VP will own the talent agenda for international expansion: recruiting, developing and motivating team members, and deepening the existing bench of global leaders across verticals.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role requiring strong technology understanding, commercial judgment, executive presence, and global relationship-building capabilities. The ideal candidate can engage with CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, and government leaders, translate complex needs into technology solutions, and convert opportunities into major partnerships and deployments.

International travel is required.
