• Prepare and deliver executive-level updates, findings, and strategic recommendations that drive alignment on capability priorities, technical development focus areas, and investment decisions needed to strengthen workforce readiness across the enterprise.
• Represent the Technical Learning Office in cross-functional and cross-business forums, contributing to enterprise-level decisions on engineering talent strategy and capability planning.

Onboarding & Productivity Strategy Owner

• Own the strategy for engineering onboarding and productivity, defining how new engineers are integrated, developed, and accelerated to full contribution within Gas Power Engineering.
• Design and implement structured onboarding pathways that are tied to the five core learning objectives and informed by TDA capability insights, ensuring new hires build foundational technical depth efficiently.
• Establish metrics and milestones for onboarding effectiveness and time-to-productivity, continuously improving the approach based on data, feedback, and business needs.
• Partner with engineering leaders, HR, and cross-functional teams to ensure onboarding programs reflect current technical requirements, cultural expectations, and business priorities.

TDA Framework Design, Governance & Continuous Improvement

• Design, implement, and continuously improve the TDA framework, including assessment criteria, evaluation methodology, governance mechanisms, quality standards, and supporting processes.
• Ensure the framework is rigorous, actionable, and sustainable, with clear standards for quality, consistency, and enterprise-wide adoption.
• Create the governance structure and operating model needed to support effective implementation, stakeholder confidence, and long-term scalability of the TDA process across multiple engineering organizations.

Capability Analysis, Strategic Insight & Workforce Planning

• Analyze TDA results, organizational feedback, business priorities, and workforce data to identify capability strengths, gaps, risks, and emerging needs at the organization, Business Unit, and enterprise level.
• Synthesize findings into actionable insights and strategic recommendations that inform development planning, learning investment priorities, succession support, and technical capability decisions at the leadership level.
• Help executive leadership teams use TDA outputs to understand technical workforce readiness and guide enterprise-level actions related to development, talent strategy, and future capability needs.

AI-Enabled Assessment & Knowledge Transformation

• Lead the modernization of technical capability development through AI-enabled approaches that improve how assessment insights, technical knowledge, and learning resources are organized, accessed, and scaled across the enterprise.
• Identify and implement opportunities to use modern tools and digital solutions to make technical learning more scalable, searchable, and effective, setting the standard for how GE Vernova leverages technology in capability development.
• Drive thoughtful integration of AI-enabled methods where they improve the usability, reach, and measurable impact of technical development processes.

Program Leadership, Execution & Operational Excellence

• Lead the planning and execution of TDA-related activities, training delivery, onboarding programs, and associated technical learning initiatives including: schedules, stakeholder engagement, communications, materials, and follow-up actions.
• Ensure high-quality execution with strong attention to detail, consistency, and operational rigor across all programs and deliverables.
• Maintain effective documentation, processes, and communications that enable repeatability, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Stakeholder Engagement & Change Enablement

• Build and maintain strong relationships with engineering leaders, subject matter experts, technical learning partners, HR stakeholders, corporate teams, and cross-functional partners to support adoption and effective use of TDA and associated learning programs.
• Drive engagement and change across the organization through clear communication, executive-level partnership, and a practical, results-oriented approach to implementation.
• Create shared understanding of the purpose, value, and strategic application of technical depth assessment across Gas Power Engineering and GE Vernova more broadly.
