1. Project Management Expertise: You've managed a diverse range of projects (inception to completion) across various business areas and functions, demonstrating adaptability between agile and waterfall environments.
2. Natural Leader with excellent communication skills: You're a strong communicator and problem-solver fostering collaboration and accountability among internal and external stakeholders.
3. Tech-Savvy: You understand the ins and outs of software, databases, and system design, and can translate technical jargon to facilitate effective communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
