Once you acquire experience of the kind I have, in order to further that, becoming strategic is natural.

What do you consider to be the most significant achievement during your time at DView.io?
 
While we are still building Dview, I believe my contribution to the building blocks itself is my most significant achievement. From contributing towards the strategic direction, the organization as well as the product takes, to mentoring the leadership, I've had a very satisfying experience. I am also thankful for the leadership and their continued trust and support.
 
 
What advice would you give to professionals looking to develop their careers in business development and strategic partnerships?
 
My advice would be to look at how you can enhance your go-to market. It happens when you include people having a similar strategic endgame. Alliances are best when they are best served, when success is shared and both parties give each other an advantage, enhancing each other’s resources or offerings or both. Look for such partners and start hitting them. For business development, develop an eye for customer needs. Also, ensure you only invest in areas where you know you're going to get paid right.
