- Strong commercial and financial acumen and performance management.
- Hands‑on experience with digital, analytics, automation, and AI‑enabled initiatives.

Responsibilities
- Lead major, cross‑Finance transformation programs
- Own transformation from concept through execution and stabilization, ensuring outcomes are measurable, adopted, and sustainable.
- Balance speed and rigor — delivering tangible results while navigating complexity, interdependencies, and evolving priorities.
