What Success Looks Like
Within the first 6–12 months, this person should become the single trusted operational owner for MSP metering and consumption intelligence. MSP leadership should be able to answer three questions quickly and confidently:
What are our MSPs consuming?
Is the data correct?
What does it tell us about where the business will land?
The role should progressively move Druva's MSP organization from manual reconciliation and retrospective reporting toward automated monitoring, proactive issue detection, and consumption-driven forecasting.
