• Identify recurring issues and work with vendors and internal teams to reduce incident frequency and improve service stability.
• Translate technical issues, risks, and recommendations into clear business-impact language for non-technical audiences.
• Support execution of global IT strategy while balancing local operational and factory needs.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in infrastructure processes, documentation, governance, and service transparency.
