  • Lead the planning and execution of digital and in-person events, partnering with sellers and internal teams to deliver programs that build awareness and drive core supply and demand metrics in Europe

  • Measure the effectiveness of marketing initiatives, using data to refine strategy, scale what works into EU-wide playbooks, and partner with US counterparts to adapt proven approaches for the European market
