Partner with your team to identify opportunities for analytics solutions and data-driven process improvements 

Represent the organization in cross-functional forums, leadership reviews, and strategic planning discussions 

Communicate team progress, priorities, and impacts clearly to leadership at all levels 

Change Leadership

Champion a data-first culture within GM, influencing how teams consume and act on data insights 

Drive continuous improvement in how the team operates — prioritization, backlog management, and delivery practices
