  • Strong executive communication skills with a consultative, outcome-driven approach.
  • Cloud fluency (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and familiarity with data integration models and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, GDPR, 21 CFR Part 11).
  • Experience operating at the intersection of product, consulting, and AI solution delivery.
