You build strong relationships across functions and are comfortable driving initiatives involving different teams and stakeholders.
• Change feels natural to you. You are comfortable challenging how things are done today - and equally open to being challenged yourself. You don't need to have all the answers. What matters is that you know how to use the competence around you and turn it into action.
