Govern Architectural Decisions

• Ensure architectural alignment throughout execution

Stay Engaged Through Execution

• Remain involved as initiatives move from planning to delivery
• Update architectures as conditions evolve

Operate Effectively in Ambiguous Environments

• Demonstrated experience across multiple BDAT domains
• Strong hands-on experience in:
• Enterprise Data Architecture
• Technology and Cloud Architecture
• Proven experience in:

• Application and portfolio rationalization
• Working across business and IT stakeholders
• Experience supporting enterprise-scale transformation programs
• Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly
