• Resolve cross-team brand decision conflicts and drive alignment through influence
• Conduct brand audits to identify fragmentation and implement scalable improvements
• Balance creative ambition with operational realities, ensuring delivery quality and timeline accountability
• Contribute to leadership planning forums and advocate for design as a strategic business capability
