• Work with technical leadership and the VP Corporate Development to define platform and value-chain strategy, including what the company should own, where it should partner, what it should avoid, and how value will be monetized.

• Own the enterprise portfolio and resource allocation approach, prioritizing investments and capacity across functions to maximize strategic value.
