methods, governance forums, and adoption models.\nWorking knowledge of AI-enabled analytics, generative AI, prompt engineering, workflow automation, and human-in-the-loop decision models.\nExperience developing executive-level dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and data-driven presentations using Power BI and related business intelligence platforms.\nStrong executive communication,
