- Proven ability to independently lead complex, cross-functional initiatives from strategy through implementation.
- Strong analytical capabilities, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems and translate data into actionable recommendations.
- Strong executive communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to influence leaders and cross-functional partners.
- Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets, business intelligence tools, and Salesforce
