Strategic Initiative Shaping
Partner with senior stakeholders to translate business ambitions into clear, actionable initiatives with well-defined outcomes and scope Surface the questions stakeholders haven't thought to ask and manage progressive design elaboration: being clear about what's locked, what's open, and what we'll discover during build Develop multiple technical options with clear trade-offs around cost, risk, timelines, and strategic alignment, and create business cases that enable informed decision-making M&A Technical Due Diligence & Integration
Run cross-functional architecture workshops bringing together product leads, platform teams, and business stakeholders Assess target businesses' technical capabilities and architecture during pre-acquisition due diligence, translating findings into integration strategies (lift-and-shift, re-platform, retire) Define integration approaches and capability mapping, develop high-level roadmaps with costs, timelines, and resource requirements to inform acquisition decisions Identify technical risks, dependencies, and opportunities within acquisition targets, and stay embedded through post-acquisition integration, navigating complexity and unblocking teams AI-First Thinking & Stakeholder Navigation
Champion AI-first approaches across initiatives, evaluating emerging tools and working with stakeholders to reimagine core business processes through an AI lens Partner with business leaders who "don't know what they don't know," framing technical constraints as business trade-offs rather than saying "that\'s out of scope" Build trust with both technical teams and commercial stakeholders, translating between business intent and technical reality Delivery Connection
Stay connected through delivery, adjusting designs based on implementation learnings and bringing together technical teams to ensure end-to-end solutions remain coherent Identify integration points and data flows that nobody's thought about, support critical course corrections, and maintain a record of what's been decided, when, and why What We're Looking For
