• Take full ownership of tech stack governance — evaluate every tool, platform, and system and decide build, buy, consolidate, or kill.

• Bring deep AI expertise to identify where AI can replace, augment, or create revenue opportunities.
• Drive a disciplined build‑vs‑buy‑vs‑consolidate framework and reinvest in moves that advance the business.

• Oversee daily IT operations, staffing, vendor and network management across multi‑facility environments.
• Own security and privacy of data and systems and drive continuous security improvements.
