Client Advisory & Ecosystem Optimization

• Serve as a capacity expert on print, CGI, and retouching capabilities, guiding the design, implementation, and scaling of creative production and workflow models
• Analyze client delivery ecosystems to identify creative, production, and workflow risks or inefficiencies
• Propose and implement tailored solutions to optimize client workflows, team structures, creative processes, and operational maturity

• Ensure strong collaboration between print, CGI, retouching, project management, and production stakeholders
• Oversee and validate costs estimates linked to print and CGI production activities
