• EMPOWER OTHERS: Provide data visibility into progress against hiring targets to the talent and business  within the GTM operational plan, and design processes to streamline data updates to stakeholders
• WRITE IT DOWN: Partner with accounting to ensure accuracy of financial statements, which are leveraged across the business, by building detailed reconciliations for journal entries, accruals, and open spend items to compare against budgeted initiate spend.
• DON’T SETTLE: Update weekly operational and financial metrics decks and work to automate population of data, so teams including GTM FP&A, GTM and Corp FP&A can review key metrics, while working towards making metrics more self-service for stakeholders
