Maintain a live strategic dashboard (Power BI/Tableau) tracking KPIs: market growth rates, customer capex, competitor revenue, and share of wallet

Monitor competitor M&A, venture funding, and SPAC activity in the data center ecosystem

Partner with Product Management to validate feature prioritization against customer RFPs and competitor gaps

Advise Sales & Marketing on messaging, vertical targeting, and account-based strategies
