• Interest in AI tools, advanced analytics, and automation.

• Anticipatory, business‑immersed mindset with the discipline to recognize early performance signals and translate them into proactive actions.
• Strong commercial acumen and understanding of revenue, margin, backlog, and funnel performance drivers.
• Ability to translate complex analysis into clear, executive‑ready insights.
