• Design and oversee implementation of conceptual solutions in collaboration with technical experts.
• Create business cases, ROI models, and transformation plans to support client decision-making.
• Produce high-quality documentation, including whitepapers, tools, and frameworks for strategic delivery.
• Support methodology refinement and capture lessons learned from each engagement.

• Strong facilitation and presentation skills, capable of leading workshops and engaging senior stakeholders.
• Understanding of Agile, Scrum, and DevSecOps practices.

Desirable Certifications and Skills
