• Strong executive presence with exceptional written and verbal communication skills; proven ability to influence executive leadership and drive cross-functional alignment.
• Deep expertise in enterprise pricing structures, price book configuration, discounting models, and product hierarchy design.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with a track record of using data to drive operational decision-making and measure process effectiveness.
• Expertise in change management methodologies and leading organizational transformations across global, matrixed teams.
