- Report transformation KPIs, value realized and risks to the Board and executive staff.

Ideal Profile

- 15 years spanning manufacturing operations / supply chain and digital transformation.
- Proven delivery of enterprise AI or large ERP/planning transformations at scale.

- Solid executive presence; able to translate technology into P&L; outcomes.

Success in 12 Months

- Phase-1 foundation live; governance and data classification operational.
- RFQ Agent and Executive Copilot pilots delivering measurable turnaround gains.
