- Maintain a holistic understanding of account performance, client sentiment, commercial opportunity, stakeholder dynamics, competitive risk, and delivery health.

Creator & Influencer Strategic Leadership
- Bring a strong understanding of the creator and influencer ecosystem and how it is evolving across social, media, commerce, and culture.
