- Governance judgment: Experience managing brand, legal, and privacy risk in AI systems, and building the review mechanisms rather than resisting them
- Influence without authority: Able to drive outcomes that land inside other teams, on other roadmaps, without direct control
- Build-versus-buy judgment: Experience evaluating and managing AI and martech vendors, with a clear view of when a platform partner beats an internal build
