  • Deep understanding of shared services best practices, coupled with the resilience and pragmatism to thrive in an “imperfect but high-growth” environment.
  • Experience leading geographically dispersed and offshored teams.
  • Strong focus on process optimisation, automation, and technology-driven improvement.
  • Exceptional communication skills and emotional intelligence with a collaborative, direct leadership style.
