executive technical sponsor for strategic clients, particularly those requiring complex transformation or cross-service solutions.\nService Portfolio & Capability Development\nPrimary Focus: Own the technical HOW and build offerings that Attain can repeatedly sell and deliver.\nProvide executive oversight for three service pillars:\nAdvisory Services: Data Strategy, Data Advisory, and Data
