Briefly describe the nominated team: history and past performance (up to 1,250 characters):
The Sales Excellence (SE) team powers the global sales engine of LTM, a $4 Bn global tech powerhouse with [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] across 35 countries, [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] business verticals, and [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] service lines. They cover sales operations, CRM, market research, and sales transformation. Constant engagement with sellers provides real visibility into buyer needs.
The SE team addressed a critical challenge within the third-party business, which caters to partner products and services in addition to core IT services. Historically, such opportunities were confined to sales teams, limiting their potential to specific partners or geographies.

This out-of-the-box approach unlocked [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] new revenue streams, accelerated third-party deal momentum, and acted as a catalyst for [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] pricing leverage, [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION] volume discounts, and strategic relationships with partners.

Explain why the achievements you have highlighted are unique or significant. If possible compare the achievements to the performance of other players in your industry and/or to the organization's past performance (up to 1,500 characters):
LTM has redefined the role of Sales Excellence, transforming it from a traditional support function into a revenue-generating powerhouse. This is a groundbreaking move in the IT industry. LTM takes a unique approach by making the SE team central to driving revenue growth and improving margins.
In a market where revenue from third-party business is typically managed by separate sales teams, LTM's SE team has centralized and streamlined this process with a lean team of 8 resources to leverage the benefits of global clientele and partner views, along with core sales operations.
This was possible because the SE team has been on a strategic journey, making sales operations increasingly autonomous, with a strong focus on infusing AI into sales processes. The implementation of automated Power BI dashboards and enterprise-wide deployment of agentic AI solutions have been instrumental in enhancing their ability to "do more with less".
99% of tasks are now being completed on time due to automation of key processes like target setting and incentive calculations. Sales teams find their work more engaging because of the frequent introduction of growth-focused incentive policies, such as large deal bonuses and AI-driven deal kickers.
In October 2025, the SE team was granted the prestigious opportunity to present these achievements to the [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION]. The presentation was met with resounding approval and praise, affirming the team's commitment to industry-leading standards.
