• Leading and directly supporting the full range of go-to-market activities surrounding the Company’s commercial expansion efforts, including but not limited to, creating market interest for the Company’s offerings, conducting demonstrations of those offerings, scoping and negotiating emerging commercial deals, and any other items required for successful deal closure.
