• Develop and maintain a prioritized product roadmap, making data-driven decisions on feature priorities based on customer needs, market trends, and technical debt.
• Serve as the primary conduit for customer feedback through direct engagements with field teams, customers, and partners, while conducting continuous market research.
• Direct the development of features for elasticity, cost optimization, and automated resource management across the hybrid cloud, ensuring cloud-native efficiency for the COD service.
• Drive successful product launches by creating compelling messaging and enabling internal teams and customers.
