  • Serve as the primary liaison between the Core Team and governance committees, presenting program materials with clear, data-driven recommendations and actionable options to support timely approvals.
  • Build, influence, and sustain high-performing teams, guiding complex, high-stakes decisions without direct authority.
  • Lead cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact program outcomes, challenging assumptions, timelines, and budgets while developing alternative scenarios to mitigate risk and maximize value.
  • Own the quality, integrity, and timeliness of team outputs, ensuring company-level decisions are informed by robust, high-caliber data; set pace and priorities to achieve milestones in a highly competitive landscape.
  • Serve as the program spokesperson, aligning stakeholders and communicating strategy, progress, and decisions clearly across internal and external audiences.
  • Inspire innovation, scientific rigor, and creative problem-solving, fostering a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and boundary-less thinking.
  • Coach and develop team members to achieve peak performance, cultivating accountability, skill growth, and collective achievement.
