Leverage insights and data to identify and address inefficiencies, make evidence-based recommendations, and develop innovative solutions to enhance team productivity and output.
  6. Insights-Driven Decision Making: Ensure insights are communicated with clarity and precision, creating a narrative that resonates with both internal and external stakeholders without jargon or unnecessary complexity.

  4. Content Production & Partner Management: Skilled in working with diverse media & production partners across creative, OOH, VR/AR, metaverse, gaming and other innovative media executions, with a robust understanding of content production workflows.
  5. Leadership & Team Development: Demonstrated success in fostering team growth, including experience in talent development, performance management, and cross-functional mentorship.
