  • Executive presence and exceptional communication skills with proven ability to influence at the C-suite level, align cross-functional stakeholders, and inspire large organizations around a shared design vision
  • Strong data-informed approach to decision-making with experience building measurement frameworks that connect design to business impact and demonstrated ability to lead AI adoption and transformation within a design organization
