  • Strategic & Analytical Acumen: Exceptional ability to distill complex data into actionable insights that shape business strategy. Demonstrated experience defining and tracking KPIs to optimize cross-functional programs. Adept at building financial models, scenario plans, and business cases that influence C-suite decision-making.

Deep fluency in platforms such as Monday.com, Jira, and Confluence, with a focus on systems integration and enterprise toolchains.
