• Improve financial accountability through unit economics, consumption governance, vendor performance reviews, and portfolio rationalization.

Security, Risk & Compliance

• Partner with cybersecurity leaders to implement pragmatic infrastructure controls and recovery capabilities (e.g., ransomware defense and directory recoverability patterns where applicable).
• Ensure infrastructure risk is understood, prioritized, and actively managed across vulnerabilities, resiliency, vendor, and operational risks.

Leadership and Talent

• Model enterprise leadership behaviors including curiosity, humility, critical thinking, innovation, and a risk-managed (not risk-avoiding) mindset.
