• Strategic Acumen & Structured Thinking: Ability to understand the "big picture" and align daily tasks with long-term organizational goals, coupled with the ability to quickly distill complex strategic challenges into clear, actionable priorities.

• Emotional Intelligence & Relationship Building: A blend of emotional intelligence and meticulous attention to detail to build strong cross-functional relationships and influence decision-making at all levels.

• Influential Leadership: Demonstrated ability to influence and drive decision-making on projects without directly managing all the people involved.

• Diplomacy & Situational Sensitivity: Skill in navigating complex political landscapes and handling sensitive issues with maturity and care.
