    Strategy Landscape Orchestration: Ability to bring together key strategies (business, architecture, platform, supplier) and ensure they are relevant, complete, and aligned across the organisation.
    Strategy Translation: Skill in converting strategic direction into integrated priorities, roadmaps, and investment recommendations that teams can execute.
    Cross-Domain Alignment: Experience aligning product, engineering, and change initiatives around one coherent direction across platforms and domains.
    Portfolio Prioritisation: Demonstrated ability to enable trade-offs and sequencing across initiatives, dependencies, and value outcomes.
    Decision Enablement: Capability to provide clear insights, analysis, and recommendation material to support leadership decisions and governance.
