Working across Product Management, Engineering, Sales, Data Center Delivery, Capacity Management, Supply Chain Operations, and Finance, this leader addresses complex planning challenges involving supply availability, site readiness, capital commitments, deployment timing, revenue realization, and customer priorities. The role partners with senior leaders, leads cross-organizational initiatives with autonomy and accountability, and establishes governance, analytical frameworks, and operating rhythms to scale OCI. It turns complex business and technical inputs into executive recommendations that improve decision quality and business outcomes while optimizing capital efficiency and margin performance.

Proven experience leading large-scale, cross-functional programs and delivering measurable business impact in complex, matrixed organizations.
Strong business acumen and demonstrated expertise in forecasting, scenario modeling, product lifecycle planning, supply-demand balancing, operational planning, and risk management.
Ability to thrive in ambiguity, balance competing priorities, and translate strategic demand into executable, supply- and site-constrained plans.
Experience supporting senior and executive leadership through strategic planning, business reviews, resource prioritization, and operational decision-making.
Exceptional written, verbal, and executive presentation skills, with the ability to influence technical and business leaders at all levels.
Advanced analytical capabilities and experience converting technical, operational, financial, and customer inputs into actionable recommendations.

Responsibilities

Own the strategy, planning, and execution of major OCI capacity and demand planning programs affecting core infrastructure products and global deployment operations.
Develop and govern integrated consensus demand plans across customers, initiatives, regions, sites, products, SKUs, and planning horizons, including baseline, upside, and risk-adjusted scenarios.
Translate demand forecasts into executable supply, manufacturing, allocation, and deployment plans by identifying constraints, dependencies, decision points, and required resource commitments.
Integrate New Product Introduction (NPI) roadmaps and product lifecycle transitions with demand, qualification, supply, manufacturing, and deployment plans to enable scalable platform ramps while minimizing capacity gaps and stranded inventory.
Establish and scale cross-functional operating cadences, governance models, KPI frameworks, and executive review mechanisms that improve visibility, accountability, alignment, and decision-making.
Lead capacity and capital decisions involving long-lead components, supplier commitment windows, site readiness, allocation alternatives, cost of capital, inventory exposure, customer delivery, and revenue timing.
Develop decision frameworks and recommendations using scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, financial modeling, break-even analysis, and expected-value assessment.
Evaluate end-to-end supply chain and deployment constraints across CPU, GPU, networking, storage, racks, power, space, and data center dependencies; drive mitigation, reallocation, prioritization, or re-baselining before critical deadlines.
Define performance measures for forecast accuracy, plan attainment, supply coverage, inventory exposure, decision quality, capital efficiency, and revenue alignment.
Lead root-cause analysis and continuous improvement across planning processes, data, and systems.
Convert large, incomplete, and sometimes conflicting data sets into executive narratives, business reviews, decision memos, dashboards, and presentations that communicate assumptions, trade-offs, risks, and required decisions.
Anticipate organization-wide risks and execution bottlenecks, mobilize subject-matter experts, and drive resolution across organizational boundaries.
Develop repeatable planning standards, mentor partner teams, raise the operating standard, and influence outcomes without relying on direct authority.
