• Drive forecast management excellence to ensure sustained, predictable growth across all business units, coordinate weekly forecast calls to track status of sales pursuits
• Create executive-level presentations for both local and global leadership reviews; organize quarterly business reviews
• Assist in troubleshooting of operational issues as they surface; propose changes to systems and processes to fix root causes
