• 12+ years of experience across product leadership, commercialization, growth, or platform businesses
• Proven experience launching and scaling software or data products beyond early pilots
• Direct exposure to large-scale external revenue growth (e.g., businesses on a path to $100M+ ARR)
• Strong product instincts and ability to influence product direction through customer and market insight
• Experience designing and scaling early commercial teams without overbuilding
• Comfort leading enterprise customer conversations and complex commercial negotiations
• Experience with pricing, contracts, partnerships, and ROI-driven selling
• Willingness to travel and engage directly with customers and partners
• Motivated by ownership, upside, and building new businesses—not just managing large existing ones
• Founder, early executive, or ex-PM/operator background strongly preferred
What This Role Is Not
• Not a long-term CRO or VP Sales role
• Not purely a sales leadership role
• Not a late-stage optimization role
• This is a foundational VP role for someone who wants to build and commercialize new platform businesses and help shape Palmetto’s next generation of software and data products
