* Proven ability to lead risk workshops on complex, cross‑functional topics.
* Highly capable and comfortable leading and influencing multi‑cultural teams, leveraging strong interpersonal and collaboration skills to build relationships with key stakeholders (including Sr. leaders), challenge the status quo, and drive value‑based compromise.
* Global mindset, self‑driven, curious, and execution‑focused.

* Ability to work across global time zones and travel up to 20%.
