  • Partner with Facilities and Finance to optimize operating costs and asset utilization.
• Leadership & Team Development
  • Lead and mentor multiple directors and product leaders, fostering a culture of customer obsession, accountability, and innovation.
  • Manage a large, multi-domain product portfolio with clear prioritization and measurable outcomes.
  • Influence executive stakeholders with strong storytelling, backed by data-driven insights.
