Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted thought partner to the President, shaping agendas for key leadership forums, driving preparation and decision quality, documenting decisions, and ensuring follow-through on commitments.

• Establish and manage the operating rhythm that keeps strategic initiatives on track—portfolio reviews, dashboards, risk/issue escalation, and accountability mechanisms that ensure progress on what matters most.
• Drive high-impact initiatives that do not have a natural home. Stand up plans, roles, and milestones; unblock teams; and drive initiatives to measurable outcomes.

• Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous situations: diagnoses root causes, frames options, drives decisions, and builds practical plans teams can execute.
