- Identify bottlenecks, untangle cross-functional issues, and implement lightweight processes to keep teams moving efficiently.
- Partner with functional leaders to ensure team goals ladder up to company priorities, with clear ownership and accountability.
- Create tools, templates, and dashboards that operationalize strategy and make performance visible.
