  • Craft enterprise-level sales campaigns that consider the full spectrum of Leica’s portfolio, ensuring that each team member understands the needs of the distributor partner and how their actions contribute to the broader customer partnership.
  • Collaborate with Regional Directors and Sales Managers to ensure alignment between local teams and the distributor.
