Quick Facts

• Build business capability maps linking functions, value streams, and operating model to strategic goals for investment prioritization.

• Advise C-level executives: challenge assumptions, frame trade-offs, and translate strategy into business and technology blueprints.

• Shape greenfield products/services/ventures: define value proposition, target operating model, MVP scope, and business case.

• Define target-state blueprints (business, process, data, technology) and phased transformation roadmaps with dependencies and sequencing.

• Perform gap, impact, and value analysis; build ROI/cost/risk business cases and define KPIs for value realization.

• Identify AI and automation opportunities, assessing feasibility, value, and readiness.

• Broad exposure to products, business domains, and industries.

• Proven experience defining and documenting requirements for software products.

• Strong stakeholder management and influence with C-level executives and senior stakeholders.

• Ability to facilitate workshops and present to boards/steering committees.

• English proficiency (B2+ minimum), written and spoken.

• Active daily use of AI tools (LLMs/agents or similar) for professional research, synthesis, modeling, and document production beyond single-prompt use.

• Understanding of how LLMs and AI agents work (context needs, multi-step task execution, failure modes) and why output validation matters; ability to advise where AI fits in the operating model.
