• Proven ability to develop leaders, build teams, and improve employee performance.
• Strong analytical skills and a data-driven approach to decision-making.
• Experience implementing accountability frameworks and performance management practices.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and change management capabilities.
• Ability to influence stakeholders and drive organizational results.
