Senior Director, GTM Operations at Tenable | Exploring the AI Operator Layer

Baltimore, Maryland, United States

About

GTM Operations looks like a coordination function from the outside. From the inside, it's the translation layer between what a business needs and what its systems, tools, and data can actually deliver. Stakeholder-aligned, accountable to real targets, sitting close enough to the revenue motion to feel every gap — and far enough from engineering to know the gap won't close from that direction alone. The GTM operations function is being rewritten faster than most org charts reflect. The loudest AI conversation in the enterprise is happening in IT and engineering — but the operator layer, the seat accountable to a business stakeholder, is where it actually has to land. The gap between where AI is being built and where it needs to work is the most interesting problem in the enterprise right now. Building, testing, and writing about it.
