Requirements
- 10+ years of senior IT leadership experience in manufacturing-intensive environments (food, agriculture, CPG, industrial).
- Demonstrated success leading enterprise-scale transformation programs (ERP, data, manufacturing systems, automation).
- Comfortable operating in matrixed, multinational organizations with strong global governance.
- Able to influence senior stakeholders without direct control of all resources.

- Act as the regional steward of enterprise architecture principles and system integrity.
- Partner with global IT and cybersecurity leadership to assess risk, prioritize controls, and manage exceptions.
