Create hands‑on labs and demos for tradeshows, workshops, conferences, and similar events.
Field & Partner Readiness : Design global technical enablement programs, including curriculum development, certification paths, and performance metrics.
Competitive & Performance Benchmarking:
Direct competitive intelligence validation and shape technical differentiation narratives. Help develop technical claims to differentiate offerings.
Feedback Loop to Engineering : Drive structured feedback channels and represent customer voice in offering roadmap reviews.
Thought Leadership : Serve as technical evangelist in analyst briefings, conferences, and industry consortiums.
Act as the technical point-of-contact for Beta customers, supporting their onboarding and feedback processes.

Hands‑on experience with Lenovo or equivalent OEM technologies (VMware, Nutanix, Azure Stack, Red Hat, Kubernetes, etc.).
Skilled in lab/demo design, technical documentation, and field enablement delivery.
Excellent written, visual, and verbal communication skills (translating complex to simple).
Proven leadership of technical enablement programs or global solution frameworks.
Influencer in technical communities (speaker, author, advisor).
Strong stakeholder influence across engineering, portfolio, and field organizations.
Experience managing or mentoring technical teams
