Building Edge Computing From Zero

Stood up an entire edge computing go-to-market motion — team, plays, narrative and enablement — for a portfolio with effectively no funnel.

The Challenge

The technology was ready before the market motion was. Sellers had no language, no plays and no specialist support.

What I Learned

New categories are sold by teaching, not pitching. Enablement is the growth lever.

The Approach

  1. 01Recruited and developed 13 edge consultants.
  2. 02Enabled 100+ sellers with plays, value narrative and qualification criteria.
  3. 03Embedded specialists into the highest-potential accounts.
  4. 04Built the reference architectures that made the category buyable.
