You will be building relationships with key stakeholders, partners, users, and clients.
 You will work closely with channel partners in all key markets, to develop innovative business models for a win-win outcome, creating value for partners in the Americas, Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Europe. You will work with a global network of leading strategy thinkers, combining intellectual rigor with entrepreneurial drive to build out new ideas and create new digital solutions to shape how the world’s leading companies are working on strategy in the 2020’s and beyond.
