• Reliably deliver on time, cost, and quality, embracing change and challenges as necessary.
• Possess an anticipation mindset to identify risks and opportunities and manage them appropriately.
• Understand and synthesize complex activities, simplify, and communicate them clearly and timely to stakeholders.
• Work in an open, trusting environment and demonstrate resilience.
