  • Excellent judgment, executive presence, and ability to advise senior stakeholders on complex and ambiguous issues.
  • Commercially pragmatic negotiation skills with ability to balance innovation, business enablement, and risk discipline.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including ability to translate technical and legal issues into clear business guidance.
  • Ability to lead through influence, build trusted relationships, and drive outcomes across Legal, Technology, Procurement, Risk, and Compliance.
