Technology partner campaigns: Lead joint campaigns with key CPU, memory, AI/software, EDA, OS and cloud partners to reach new markets and customers. Act as executive sponsor for those partnerships.

AI design flow: Make Altera’s AI-assisted tools a reason to choose Altera, for both new and existing FPGA users.
•
Market voice: Set brand direction and the company narrative, and make sure flagship events land strategically.

Investment: Decide where dollars, headcount and co-marketing funds go, and shift them based on results.
•
Alignment: Partner with product, vertical marketing and planning leaders so Altera goes to market with one voice.
Team leadership
