• Ensure end-to-end transparency, ownership, and performance management across critical business processes and value streams
• Lead a global community of process owners and governance stakeholders, driving accountability, execution, and alignment across functions and regions
• Act as the key interface between business and IT, ensuring that process, data, and technology initiatives contribute to measurable business outcomes
• Drive Process Excellence initiatives through process optimization, standardization, automation, and continuous improvement methodologies
