* Experience leading a team of 7+ people and leading through at least one layer of management, even if the team wasn't huge

* A go-to-market background in B2B SaaS (product, marketing, or sales) with hands-on exposure to building or scaling a commercial function.

* A genuinely international mindset, or a clear track record of bringing one to a business that hasn't had it yet.
