- Act as the Group's custodian of enterprise architecture: own the Group Enterprise Architecture strategy, principles, standards, reference architectures and the 3–5 year technology roadmap, applied consistently across every Company Group business.

- Chair the Group Architecture Review Board (ARB) — the central governance body for enterprise technology decisions:

- Set the ARB's review criteria, escalation thresholds and decision rights, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards without slowing day-to-day business execution.

- Maintain the ARB as the final sign-off authority for cross-business platform, cloud, data and cybersecurity architecture decisions.

- Own the evaluation of current and emerging technologies for the Group:

- Maintain an Enterprise Technology Radar and a documented evaluation framework (business fit, security, cost, interoperability, vendor viability) to assess candidate technologies.

- Systematically move promising technologies — spanning cloud, data platforms, cybersecurity, integration, edge and IoT/OT — from evaluation to proof-of-concept, production pilot and Group-wide adoption.





- Act as the final architectural authority on technology and vendor selection decisions referred to the ARB.

- Establish and lead a federated architecture model that provides Group-level direction while enabling individual businesses — Ports, Airports, Power, Green Energy, Cement, Gas Distribution and Data Centers — to retain appropriate technology autonomy.

- Drive standardization and reuse of platforms, APIs, data products, integration patterns, cloud foundations, identity, observability and common technology services across all Group businesses.

- Establish architecture principles for hybrid cloud, edge computing, high-performance compute infrastructure, IoT and industrial/OT environments, reflecting the Group's asset-intensive businesses.

- Drive technology economics and rationalization across the Group, reducing duplicated platforms, unnecessary licenses, technical debt and long-term total cost of ownership (TCO).

- Build and lead a high-calibre central Enterprise Architecture team, and develop a federated architecture community of practice across businesses.
