• Lead business case development and value realization: build and review ROI scenarios, benefits hypotheses, capacity plans, and operating impacts; ensure initiatives have measurable KPIs/OKRs and adoption plans.
• Frame and prioritize AI use cases: partner with business and product leaders to identify high-impact opportunities; evaluate feasibility, risk, and scalability; drive clear go/no-go recommendations.
