In his role, Sarmiento will develop and execute strategic initiatives to support customers’ business objectives. He plans to increase sales team performance through mentorship and close interactions with customers.

Strategic partnerships with AWS and others as well as collaboration with key customers will support this shift across a wide range of use cases and processes.”
