About

In my role as a Cloud Strategy B2B specialist at Sunrise Business GmbH, part of the Swiss telecom company Sunrise and LibertyGlobal's network, I focus on developing new cloud services and products. My work involves designing and expanding our cloud offerings to keep up with the evolving market needs. A significant part of my job is interacting with clients to test new solutions through Proof of Concept (PoC). I work closely with the marketing team, contributing to product descriptions, market research, pricing strategies, and initial sales approaches. I also play a key role in training our product managers, sales, and pre-sales teams about these new offerings, ensuring they're well-prepared for market introduction. Collaboration is essential in my role. I partner with the Go-To-Market team for launching new solutions and maintain strong relationships with major Cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft, and Google. This helps us integrate the best of their services into our portfolio. Additionally, we work with a network of delivery partners to tailor our solutions to specific industries and regions.
