• Strong understanding of the key issues and challenges facing technology executives and other C-level leaders today
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) with the ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams
• Strong analytical skills, with experience interpreting data, tracking performance metrics, and making data-driven decisions using Salesforce
• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute go-to-market strategies that align sales goals with broader organizational objectives
• Comfort working in fast-paced, media-driven environments; experience partnering with journalists or newsroom teams is a plus
