Humility — You're genuinely open to feedback and learning from others. You know what you don't know. That mindset builds trust and collaboration.

Structured Thinking — We're complex (multiple services, multiple countries, multiple cultures). You can cut through noise, make sound judgements, and find solutions that balance what the business, team, and customers actually need.
