Internal Enablement & Advocacy: Train and uplift Anthropic's GTM teams on insurance domain expertise, use cases, and buyer personas. Create enablement content, conduct training sessions, and serve as the internal authority on all things insurance. Influence without authority across the organization.

Regulatory & Compliance Navigation: Partner internally and externally to develop thought leadership regarding AI governance frameworks aligned with state insurance regulations, NAIC guidelines, and international requirements.
