You are a first-principles thinker who sees partnerships not just as a sales channel, but as a product in itself—one that requires thoughtful design, iteration, and a clear value proposition

You are commercially astute and intellectually curious, capable of structuring complex deals and quickly grasping the technical and strategic nuances of our AI platform and the biopharma industry
You build trust and credibility with senior executives effortlessly. You are seen as a strategic advisor, not a transactional salesperson
