• Experience creating strategic roadmaps, operating models, governance frameworks, and executive-level deliverables
• Ability to synthesize large volumes of information from diverse sources into clear recommendations and actionable plans

• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to quickly understand complex business and technical concepts
