• Analyze industry and internal data, market reports and benchmarks to identify performance gaps and improvement opportunities
• Construct and implement robust financial models to forecast revenue impact, cost savings, and ROI for key transformation initiatives, ensuring alignment with Visa's strategic objectives and financial goals
• Develop and maintain project plans, budgets, and resource allocation schedules
• Ensure that all initiatives are aligned with the Visa’s overall strategy, goals, and values
• Continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of transformational initiatives, and make recommendations for improvement
