• Lead development of data and insights propositions, leveraging Mastercard’s global data assets to define high-value analytics and performance solutions for acquirers, channel partners, and merchants.
• Define the Agentic Commerce proposition, service models, and ecosystem strategy, including what capabilities should be enabled and where partnerships accelerate scale.
• Identify and prioritize merchant, acquirer, and channel partner use cases that inform product investment and portfolio direction.

• Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear market narratives, and to communicate effectively with senior executives, partners, and customers.
• Track record of influencing product investment decisions, roadmap priorities, and delivery outcomes in matrixed, global organizations, working closely across product management, engineering, data, and commercial teams.
