• Plan resources and capacity strategically, and help resolve resource conflicts across departments
• Keep delivery status (time, budget, quality) fully transparent, **escalate risks early**, and report clearly to executive management and stakeholders
• Align stakeholders with differing goals across Software Development, IT, BI, Commercial Management, Sales, Finance, Networks and Customer Care
