• Require documented current-state processes, target outcomes, adoption plans, controls, and accountable business owners before major technology implementation.
• Ensure technology programs deliver measurable improvements in growth, productivity, cycle time, customer or partner experience, data quality, and control.

Investment, vendor, and portfolio governance

• Own annual technology budgeting, forecasting, and portfolio planning; present clear strategic and financial justification for investments, renewals, one-time spend, and resource requests.
• Partner with Finance and Procurement on sourcing, negotiation, licensing, vendor and outsourced-service performance, contract risk, and total cost of ownership.
• Establish effective IT governance, architecture and technology standards, KPIs, service-level expectations, and financial controls.
• Use stage gates and portfolio governance to stop, pause, re-sequence, or accelerate work based on enterprise value, readiness, risk, and capacity.
• Track realized benefits and operating savings, not only delivery milestones.
• Lead technology due diligence, separation, and integration planning for mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions, as applicable.

Organization and talent
