- Solid change management experience, including scaling teams, embedding operating discipline, and improving performance during rapid growth.
- Demonstrated success leading software rollouts in scientific operations, from adoption and training through stabilization.
- Strong client‑facing leadership across program reviews, delivery communications, and issue escalation.
