• Work closely with the Chief Strategy Officer and key stakeholders across the company to identify and prioritize the most critical cross-organizational initiatives through market analysis, customer and vendor conversations and industry expert collaboration.


• Help build and execute strategy from paper to reality, working across organizations, business leaders and stakeholders to create and employ mechanisms for “unified execution” across a global company of ~160,000 employees


• Leading end to end planning and delivery of comprehensive longterm projects focusing on the most pressing and robust cross-Flex opportunities within the company.
