• Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end M&A integrations or major cross-functional programs involving significant business transformation.
• Exceptional ability to influence and drive accountability across senior stakeholders in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Strong analytical acumen and ability to interpret financial models, KPIs, and operational metrics related to synergy tracking and performance outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of distilling complex information into clear, actionable insights for executive audiences.
• High attention to detail with proven success in building scalable frameworks, project structures, and playbooks.
