• Proven ability to quickly grasp complex systems and technologies and clearly explain them to a wide range of audiences, including technical decision makers and business decision makers.
• Strong interviewing and research skills. Must be able to discuss technology that may not be fully understood while conveying adequate knowledge to gather content details.
