- Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Account Executives, and Engineering to ensure Meko messaging, positioning, and roadmap reflect real customer and market feedback.
- Build and nurture relationships with customer contacts working on AI agent initiatives, positioning Meko as the preferred AI Data Layer for agentic applications.
