- Establish a practical portfolio roadmap that distinguishes near-term productivity opportunities, medium-term capability investments, and longer-term strategic bets.
- Advise the leadership team on opportunities, trade-offs, risks, investment choices, and external developments in AI.
- Align objectives and AI initiatives across the organization
- Create a common framework for translating corporate KSIs and KPIs into function-level AI objectives and measurable outcomes.

- Connect AI-enabled marketing and communications work to outcomes such as customer engagement, brand consideration, campaign effectiveness, media efficiency, content velocity and quality, employee understanding, revenue growth, profitability, and risk reduction.
- Build a clear path from experimentation to adoption, including business ownership, process redesign, training, measurement, and ongoing product management.
- Establish the operating model and governance

- Create standards for vendor selection, model and tool evaluation, content review, measurement, and retirement of solutions that do not create sufficient value.
- Ensure the function can move with urgency without bypassing safety, integrity, customer trust, or required controls.
- Lead adoption, capability building, and change management
- Build an AI-fluent marketing and communications organization through executive education, role-based learning, communities of practice, playbooks, coaching, and practical experimentation.
- Take full ownership for portfolio-level results, including stopping or redirecting work when outcomes, risk, or adoption do not justify continued investment.
- Develop the change strategy that helps leaders and employees understand why AI matters, how work will change, what remains human-led, and how success will be measured.
- Create a network of AI champions across the CMCO’s organizations to accelerate adoption and surface frontline insights.
- Build and lead a high-performing central team with the optimal mix of strategy, product, transformation, analytics, communications, and change-management expertise.
