This territory rewards patience, relationship depth, and a long-term ownership mentality. Year one is about building the foundation. The compounding starts in year two.

The territory has twoAnchorAccounts:

- One of the top five global technology companies is a genuine strategic account with substantial multi-year expansion upside; the kind of complex, multi-BU strategic engagement that takes patience and skill to develop but pays off at scale.
- A top five bank in Canada, a large existing account navigating a restructure; the immediate motion is relationship ownership and stability, with expansion access opening over time.

early-stage channel relationships to develop, and no ceiling on what a skilled builder can create.
- Includes existing Checkmarx customers in the USthat are subsidiariesof Canadian-headquartered companies,built-in cross-border relationships you can expand from day one.
