Governance And Cross-functional Leadership

• Lead cross-functional pricing workstreams with Finance, Forecasting, Accounting, Government Pricing, Legal, Compliance, Privacy, Trade, Brand and Market Access.
• Establish common model definitions, documentation and review cadence; identify duplicate-discount, classification, reporting, privacy and channel-conflict risks; and present clear recommendations, alternatives and unresolved issues to the Director and senior governance.
