• Proven experience interfacing directly with and influencing C‑level executives and senior leadership teams.
• Designed and led at least three high‑stakes strategy workshops (e.g., visioning sessions, design sprints, or discovery workshops) and managed 10+ cross‑functional stakeholders toward actionable outcomes.
• Background in a client‑facing agency or consulting firm preferred.
• Experience with large‑scale digital products or enterprise‑level web platforms.
• Ability to travel 15–25 % of the time to customer sites for workshops, focus groups, and executive presentations.
