- Cross-Functional Synergy:
Experience bridging the gap between software and hardware divisions to ensure cohesive product development. - High-Stakes Leadership:
The "backbone" to manage difficult dynamics when necessary, balanced with the emotional intelligence to make every member feel vital to the mission. - Technical Credibility:
