• Partner with presenters to clarify key messages; draft or review talking points, FAQs, and follow-ups to drive clarity and consistency across sessions.

• Coordinate cross-functional logistics with People, Legal, Finance, and IT/AV, ensuring approvals, clearances, and distribution are handled on time.
