• Run a value-driven prioritisation framework that weighs business and customer value, data readiness, feasibility, regulatory considerations, adoption potential and capacity.
• Lead AI products from ideation through MVP, production, adoption and optimisation, balancing innovation with operational support, platform evolution and technical debt.
• Define standards with enterprise architects and platform teams for solution design, reusable AI components, experimentation, model governance, content generation workflows, testing and monitoring.
