  • Assemble, coordinate, and align internal, extended, and external teams, driving consensus on deliverables and ensuring all contributors are working toward shared project objectives.
  • Provide regular updates, clear status reports, and comprehensive risk assessments to stakeholders, maintaining transparency and alignment across all teams involved.

Risk & Change Management

  • Proactively manage project scope, anticipate and identify potential risks, and develop effective contingency plans to minimize disruption and keep projects on track.

Communication & Leadership Reporting
