  • Transformational/Change Management

Ability to see not only the route to improvements but also deliver both the multitude of technical and service changes needed but also bring the stakeholders with you and keep their buy in to be able to complete the transition and fulfill the potential everyone saw in the original blueprint

  • Technical Competence

Not just the hands-on skills with the tools you used on your way up, but evaluating the new methods and services available and being able to decide what you should stick with and what you need to update, the ability to stay current without just following the current

  • Strategy
