Preferences:

- Exposure to GCP and Azure cloud environments.
- Leadership experience in highly regulated industries such as defense, finance, or critical infrastructure.
- Experience with U.S. federal compliance frameworks and authorization processes, including FedRAMP, DoD ATO, NIST 800-53, and related government standards.
- Experience preparing, delivering, and maintaining software offerings through AWS Marketplace and other cloud provider marketplaces (e.g., Azure Marketplace, Google Cloud Marketplace), including packaging, compliance validation, and ongoing operational support.
