- Business Acumen: Ability to translate complex technical jargon into clear business value, financial ROI, and strategic alignment for C-suite executives
- Architectural Fluency: Deep hands-on and strategic familiarity with modern cloud data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, AWS/Azure data suites) and enterprise MDM platforms (e.g., Informatica, Reltio, Semarchy, Profisee)
- People Leadership: Minimum of 5 years managing manager-level and architect-level direct reports, with a track record of hiring, mentoring, and retaining top-tier engineering talent
- Change Management Mastery: Documented success in leading complex corporate data migrations or massive MDM implementations across multi-business-unit enterprises
- Experience navigating fast-paced, high-growth environments characterized by rapid organizational restructuring or frequent Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
