• Drive optimization and adoption of Commercial/Sales platforms and workflow tooling in partnership with Tech and GBS Capability teams (tools as applicable to Sales operating model).
• Ensure digital initiatives deliver measurable outcomes (utilization, productivity, quality, visibility), not just deployment.
• Align data/process requirements to enable scalable performance tracking, account analytics, and program execution reporting.
