• Translate GTM strategy into quarterly OKRs, weekly operating rhythms, and budgets.
• Continuously optimize resource allocation based on performance data.

B. Content, Brand & Demand Generation

• Build and operate founder-led and KOL-led content engines, including flagship content, long-form articles, short-form videos, social media posts, newsletters, and partner collaborations.
