able to understand and articulate customer needs at both the bench and the boardroom level.\nLeadership: Ability to lead initiatives and drive projects to completion with little or no oversight, including mentoring junior team members and raising overall team capability.\nAdaptability: Comfortable operating in dynamic, evolving customer and company environments where priorities shift and playbooks are still being written.\nInnovator: Passionate about improving customer outcomes through digital tools and scientific rigor;
