  • Solid grounding in data center hardware, rack-level build, and physical infrastructure is required. This includes server, networking, power, cooling, and cabling considerations that develop how AI and cloud fabrics are deployed at scale.
  • Experience leading product strategy development and delivery in complex global organizations as a senior IC (director-level scope) or people leader.
  • A strong blend of systems-level technical depth, business insight, and critical thinking.
  • Demonstrates outstanding communication and confidence when sharing ideas at the executive level. Influences global teams without authority. Manages competing priorities effectively in a rapidly changing environment.

Nice to Have:
