Lead AI enablement across Primer

Drive adoption through leaders, not around them
Partner with functional leaders to identify high-impact AI opportunities, set priorities, and hold teams accountable for adoption and outcomes.

Scale AI-powered ways of working

Own Claude adoption and AI knowledge-sharing
Drive usage, training, best practice, and a shared library of prompts, skills, workflows, and reusable context.
