• Ensure initiatives are clearly positioned, scoped, and architecturally aligned to enable effective delivery by execution teams.
• Review proposed solution approaches for alignment with enterprise architecture, data strategy, security requirements, and long‑term technology direction, without owning build or delivery execution.

• Provide strategic guidance on build‑versus‑buy considerations and vendor capabilities as technologies progress from experimentation toward enterprise adoption.
• Establish and lead governance practices for AI and emerging technologies, including policy development, ethical use guidelines, regulatory alignment, and risk mitigation.
• Ensure architectural guardrails, standards, and decision forums are in place to support consistent and compliant adoption.

• 10+ years of experience in enterprise technology leadership, AI, data, or digital strategy roles, including people management responsibilities.
• Demonstrated experience working with enterprise architecture, governance models, and senior technology leadership.
• Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.

• Experience with responsible AI frameworks and technology governance standards (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001).
• Experience evaluating, governing, and guiding adoption of emerging technologies in an enterprise environment.
• Proven ability to operate effectively in a non‑delivery leadership role that partners closely with execution teams.
• Innovative, systems‑level thinking with the ability to balance near‑term needs and long‑term strategy.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, data platforms, automation technologies, and modern AI/ML development practices.
