A day in the life
Kuiper's Business Development strategy is well defined and yet each working day is different from the next. The satellite Mobility sector is global and our customer engagements take us around the world whether on video calls on supporting face to face engagements. We may start the day with a customer call with Australia and finish the day with a channel partner meeting in Austin.
Taking time during a busy day to evaluate critical data points and develop strategies and tactics is important. As is the process of codifying these decisions and their outcomes.
