- Define Success: Establish clear, business-driven success metrics for the platform (e.g., efficiency gains, reduction in manual effort) and ensure every feature delivers meaningful outcomes for enterprise fleets.
- Be the Customer Champion: Engage frequently with our customers to discover their most pressing operational needs and advocate for intuitive, unified, and autonomous experiences.
