* Establish planning standards, governance, timelines, and documentation to improve consistency and decision quality, and prepare executive-ready recommendations for planning reviews and leadership decisions.


* Define and monitor pipeline-health metrics, including coverage, creation, progression, conversion, velocity, ageing, and forecast risk.


* Identify pipeline gaps, performance trends, and execution risks by segment, region, product, channel, and sales stage, translating insights into clear actions and recovery plans.


* Drive structured Geo engagement in sales planning and pipeline-performance reviews, aligning regional teams on assumptions, priorities, risks, and actions to improve execution and accountability.


* Design and optimize account, territory, and resource-coverage models, including segmentation and prioritization frameworks that guide account assignments, coverage depth, and sales-resource deployment.
