- Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary teams and influencing across business, data science and technology organizations.
- Track record of translating complex business questions into reusable analytical or decision‑support capabilities in a regulated environment.
- Strong knowledge of Global Development processes and decisions across study planning, startup, site selection and engagement, enrollment, monitoring and execution.
- Deep understanding of decision science, analytical productization, metrics, business rules and value measurement.
- Working knowledge of AI/ML lifecycles and GenAI or agentic patterns, with the ability to define requirements without duplicating model‑development responsibilities.
- Familiarity with data products, semantic and knowledge layers, ontologies, provenance and AI‑ready data concepts.
- Strong partnership skills across Global Development, Data Strategy, Data Products, AI & Data Science, Program & Product Management and JJT (IT).
