- Align legal, finance, engineering, and operations around strategic sales motions to accelerate conversion of complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
- Advance strategic partnerships with utilities, data center operators, ESCOs, and real estate developers to create pull-through for Hanwha's vertically integrated energy value chain.
- Customer-Centric Innovation & Solution Prioritization
- Champion a customer-outcomes-first mindset across the organization, ensuring that offerings are aligned to measurable business or operational KPIs.
- Establish feedback loops to incorporate customer input into roadmap, pricing strategy, and service innovation.
- Prioritize solution areas and market segments based on customer need, commercial feasibility, and internal delivery readiness.

- Attract and develop commercial talent with enterprise, energy services, or infrastructure solution experience.
- Act as a bridge between commercial, product, engineering, and operations teams to ensure alignment on GTM priorities and execution.
- 20+ years of senior commercial leadership in enterprise energy services, utilities, digital infrastructure, or mission-critical industrial operations.
- C-level relationship with major utilities and/or hyper scalars.
- Proven success in designing and closing large-scale EaaS or infrastructure deals with long sales cycles and complex stakeholder environments.
- Deep understanding of data center operations, utility markets, power systems, and renewable energy financing models.
- Familiarity with EPC, O&M, IPP, and their integration into long-term outcome-driven offerings.
