  • Build a high-performing IT operations function (ITSM, service desk, reliability, uptime)
  • Drive integration of acquired businesses and establish a scalable shared services model
  • Partner with executives across IT, operations, and engineering to deliver business value
  • Evaluate and optimize team structure, processes, and vendor partnerships
