• Security Sales Support: Enable ZoomInfo transaction velocity and ensure customer service by building customer trust and rapidly responding to inquiries
• Automation & Reporting: Leverage Agentic AI and GRC platforms (ServiceNow GRC, Vanta, and others) to automate processes, generate metrics, and deliver executive dashboards.
